- Trypsin
- Digestive enzyme produced in pancreas as the precursor trypsinogen
- Specific enzyme in a wider class of protein-degrading enzymes, called proteolytic enzymes/proteases/peptidases
- Activated in duodenum by enteropeptidase (also called enterokinase)
- Catalyzes the breakdown of proteins in the duodenum by hydrolyzing peptide bonds
- Trypsin also activates chymotrypsinogen, another pancreatic peptidase, to chymotrypsin
- Digestive enzyme produced in pancreas as the precursor trypsinogen
