Proteasomal is an adjective that refers to the proteasome, a cellular complex responsible for degrading proteins in cells. Some synonyms for proteasomal are related to the function of the proteasome itself, such as protein-degrading, protein-catabolic, or protein-digestive. Other synonyms might describe the role of the proteasome in specific cellular processes, such as immune regulation or DNA repair. In this context, terms such as immunoproteasomal, regulator proteasomal, and DNA-repair proteasomal might be used. Regardless of the precise synonym, all describe the same basic biochemical process of protein degradation carried out by the proteasome.
