Exoenzyme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An exoenzyme, or extracellular enzyme, is an enzyme that is secreted by a cell and that works outside that cell. It is usually used for breaking up large molecules that would not be able to enter the cell otherwise. The opposite of an exoenzyme is called an endoenzyme. It is an enzyme microorganisms excrete into the environment. It is an enzyme that acts outside the cell. (Gaming)
