"limited pathway" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used when referring to a restricted or constrained route or method. Example: Due to budget constraints, the company had to choose a limited pathway for expansion, focusing only on a few key markets instead of a widespread approach.
Unsuccessful drilled closures prove that hydrocarbons derived from northern source pods have limited pathways and could not migrate towards these closures.
Very long fatty acids are essential precursors of signaling molecules related to the arachidonic acid and prostaglandin metabolisms, the limiting pathway being catalyzed by prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2).
The observation that all of the available anticancer therapies, apparently regardless of their mechanism of action and combination, appear to arrive at a relatively common low rate of CR and that this has remained essentially unchanged for over 40 years, profoundly suggests that a common final biologically limiting pathway may be present to account for the above findings.
The kinetic model for lysine synthetic pathways from OAA in the TCA cycle has been proposed [161], and this can be used to apply sensitivity analysis such as metabolic control analysis (MCA) to identify the limiting pathways in Corynebacterium glutamicum [162].
Rescue of E-cadherin in post-EMT human cells in vivo could have important impacts on structure and signaling because E-cadherin limits pathways that lead to EMT induction, such as NF-κB and β-catenin pathways, and contributes to Snail-1 inhibition (Solanas et al, 2008).
However, the narrow substrate scope of strictosidine synthase, the enzyme at the entry point of the pathway, limits a pathway engineering approach.
Current enrichment methods are limited for pathway analysis because they treat genes identical in pathways.
The heterologous production of triterpene saponins in microbes remains challenging and only limited successful pathway engineering endeavors have been reported.
Based upon these observations we hypothesize that the increased symptom homogeneity is mainly driven by the effect of one (or limited) genetic pathway(s).
