• Cross reactivity against Trypsin from other sources may occur but has not been specifically determined
• Trypsin is a 24 kDa enzyme of the serine proteinase family
• It is produced in the pancreas as an inactive precursor, trypsinogen, but the active enzyme is located in the gastrointestinal tract where it degrades proteins to large peptides
• Trypsin prefers lysine and arginine residues
• One of the substrates for trypsin is chymotrypsinogen which is cleaved to produce active chymotrypsin
• High levels of immunoreactive trypsin in the bloodstream can indicate pancreatic malfunction and this indicator is used to screene for and diagnose Cystic Fibrosis.
