Trypsin
Trypsin is a serine protease that is produced in the pancreas. Serine protease means that it is an enzyme that cleaves amino acid sequences and that a serine is located in the active site of the molecule. In order to prevent it from breaking down the proteins in the pancreas of the organism that produces it, it is first produced as the inactive zymogen, proenzyme trypsinogen.
