Trypsin is a type of serine protease enzyme from the PA clan superfamily found in the digestive system of many vertebrates, where it begins the digestion of proteins by hydrolysis, cutting long chains of amino acids into smaller pieces. Trypsin is formed in the small intestine when its proenzyme, known as trypsinogen and produced by the pancreas, is activated. Trypsin cuts peptide chains mainly at the carboxyl side of the amino acids lysine and arginine. It is widely used in numerous biotechnology applications in clinical and research laboratories. The enzymatic action of trypsin is commonly r

A tripsina é um tipo de enzima que age nas proteínas que se encontram no quimo (massa de aspecto branco leitoso que corresponde ao bolo alimentar depois de no estômago se juntar com ácido clorídrico (HCl), que dilacera as fibras musculares, juntamente com pepsina e quimotripsina, onde quebra as proteínas em peptídeos mais simples) dentro do intestino delgado (no duodeno - primeira parcela do intestino delgado).
