No, this enzyme is not inducible. What your genes gave you is all you have, and that amount can be effectively reduced by any inhibitors or substrates.

Rather than having low enzyme levels, you may have what are called super-metabolizing enzymes. These enzymes process chemicals at many times the "normal" rate. I put the word in quotation marks because super-metabolizers are normal. They just differ from the population mean (called the norm). It might be worth having enzyme function testing performed, if the expense is not an obstacle.
