Trypsin, a member of the serine protease family, is produced in the pancreas and found in the digestive tracks of vertebrates. To avoid pancreatic self-degradation, trypsin is synthesized as trypsinogen, a zymogen. Cleavage by enteropeptidase allows tryspin to enter its active form. As a serine protease, trypsin contains a serine residue in its active site. such, it contains a serine residue in the active site. | |||
