yes, a gate valve is designed to operate in the fully opened or fully closed positions,globe and ball valves can be used to throttle flow.
Isolation valves are used for diverting process media, facilitating maintenance, equipment removal and shutdown. The operation, application and construction of gate, globe, piston and diaphragm valves are studied in this tutorial.

What is the difference between a service and isolation valve?
What is the difference between a service & isolation valve? Service & Isolation valves are an essential part of a bathroom suit.

What is the different between Production Master Valve and Production Wing Valve on the wellhead of offshore oil rig?
Term "production" means outflow from well. Master valve and wing valve are both on X-mas trees installed above wellhead. Fluid comes to the surface will pass Master (main isolation) valve first, then to the wing valve. Afterwards, go to the choke valves for pressure control before directing to downstream process.
Is isolation valve similar to ball valve?
EXACTLY
What is an isolation valve and fill valve in a toilet?
An isolation valve isolates the fixture so one can disassemble the fill valve (ball -cock) and make necessary repairs. Also the isolation valves on most fixtures are globe pattern type so one can throttle the volume entering the fixture to prevent hydraulic shock and prevent excessive noise

What is a refrigeration queen valve?
A queen valve is the service valve (isolation valve) located at the inlet of the liquid receiver (between the condenser outlet and the liquid receiver). The king valve is the service valve at the outlet of the liquid receiver (between the liquid receiver and the liquid line). Queen valves seem to be in use much less than king valves.
