We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

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.
