In biology enzyme compartmentalization is effi- ciently carried out by biomembrane or biological membrane that permits to confine specific func- tions given by enzymes in a precise space. The enzymes can be localized inside the delimited compartments or on the membrane surface.

Why is enzyme compartmentalization important?

The compartmentalization of the enzymes into different organelles of a cell creates cellular steroid gradients and can affect the balance of the different steroid products. The partitioning of steroidogenic enzymes in different cells reduces the rate of steroid synthesis.

What is compartmentalization and why is it important?

Compartmentalization increases the efficiency of many subcellular processes by concentrating the required components to a confined space within the cell. ... Compartmentalization can also have important physiological implications.
