isozyme

isozyme
A genetic variant of an enzyme. Isozymes for a given enzyme share the same function, but may differ in level of activity, as a result of minor differences in their amino acid sequence. Electrophoretic separation of isozymes has been used to distinguish between individuals and varieties.
