How can you use “rate-limiting” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It has been argued [ 7 ] that the cytosolic vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein calbindin D 9K is the likely rate-limiting step in vitamin D-induced intestinal calcium absorption.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of gluconeogenesis, and most of its activity is regulated transcriptionally.
The transcript encoding ornithine decar-boxylase (ODC), a known androgen target that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in polyamine biosynthesis [ 26], was induced coordinately with enzymes that catalyze downstream steps in polyamine synthetic pathway (spermine synthase, spermidine/spermine N 1-acetyltransferase, and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase) (Figure 5c).
Overall, LC-PUFA may up regulate Pck1, the rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis, via cAMP-, SREBP-1- and/or PPAR-signaling [ 57 ] . This has the overall effect of limiting fat accumulation and shunting metabolic flux to gluconeogenesis.
In this work, the levels of Tag in G 1 increased 18% during exponential population growth as the length of G 1 was increasing [ 11 ] . Since Tag is rate-limiting for G 1 transit in these cells, the increase in transit time as a function of G 1 Tag concentration represented an apparent paradox that is resolved (in the simplest and obvious manner) by stating that additional rate-limiting entities operate to set the G 1 transit time.
