Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.
Take it 30 minutes before a meal or as directed by your doctor. Stop using Trypsin Chymotrypsin at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery as it may interfere with blood clotting. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease or problems with your blood clotting mechanism.
Trypsin from the pyloric caeca of bigeye snapper was purified and characterized. Trypsin had an apparent molecular weight of 23.8 kDa when analyzed using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and substrate-gel electrophoresis. The trypsin fraction consisted of three isoforms as evidenced by the appearance of three different bands on native-PAGE. Optimal activity was observed at 55C and pH range of 8–11.
