Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabolic pathways are typically subject to end-product repression, where the final product of the pathway inhibits an enzyme that acts early in the pathway, thus preventing the overproduction of the end product. This is a common regulatory mechanism in biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways.
