Overview:

Trypsin is a serine protease that is produced in the acinar exocrine cells of the pancreas. The enzyme cleaves peptides at the C-terminal side of lysine and arginine amino acid residues. Recombinant pancreatic trypsin is a widely biochemical tool used in processes, which include: recombinant insulin production, cell culture, cell fermentation, protein peptide mapping, proteomic sequencing and cell dissociation. Trypsin function is inhibited by serine protease inhibitors (e.g. TLCK, PMSF), and metal chelating agents (e.g. EDTA).
