    Metabolic enzymes are produced by your body and are found in your bones, blood and organs. The metabolic enzymes in your body help in maintaining and repairing your cells and tissues. They also help our body to successfully complete its various processes. They are needed for the purification of blood, strengthening our immune system and enhancing our digestive system. Metabolic enzymes are mainly produced in the pancreas. As you grow older, the production of metabolic enzymes in your body decreases. You can supplement them by eating a healthy diet which includes foods like papaya, avocados, grapes and bananas. There are also plenty of commercial supplements present in the market.

    Very well explained Bhavna..Names of some metabolic enzymes found in the body are-
    There are six major classes of enzymes in the body. The following are the names of enzymes in the body and their functions:
    Ligase: This enzyme in the body requires ATP and binds nucleotides together in the nucleic acids. It also binds simple sugars in polysaccarides.
    Lyase: This enzyme in the body breaks the bonds between carbon atoms or carbon nitrogen bond.
    Hydrolase: This enzyme in the body breaks large molecules into simpler molecules by adding a water molecule.
    Transferase: This enzyme in the body cuts a part of one molecule and attaches it to another molecule.
    Isomerase: The atoms in a molecule are rearranged without changing their chemical formula. This helps in getting carbohydrate molecules for certain enzymatic processes.
    Oxido-reductase: This enzyme removes hydrogen or electrons from one molecule and donate it to another molecule. This enzyme is mainly involved in mitochondrial energy production.
    Kinase: This enzyme in the body attaches a phosphate group to a high energy bond. It is a very important enzyme required for ATP production and activation of certain enzymes.
