Trypsin Powder CAS 9002-07-7

Trypsin powder is a type of protease. In vertebrates, it is characterized by functioning as a digestive enzyme. It is synthesized in the pancreas as trypsinogen, the precursor of enzymes. It is secreted as a component of pancreatic juice and is restricted by enterokinase, or Trypsin, to break down into activated Trypsin, which is an endonuclease of the peptide chain. It can cut the carboxyl side of lysine and arginine residues in the polypeptide chain. It not only has the characteristics of digestive enzymes, but also can restrict the decomposition of precursors of other enzymes such as chymoproteinogen, carboxypeptidase, and phospholipase, and has the activation feature. It is the most specific protease and becomes an indispensable tool in determining the amino acid arrangement of proteins.

Recombinant Trypsin has the same enzymatic properties as animal-derived Trypsin. It can be used as a substitute for Trypsin and has many advantages, such as no impurity enzyme activity, high stability, no self-cutting, and high activity. During use, neither specific enzymatic digestion fragments nor self-digestion fragments occur. It is used for specific protein enzymatic hydrolysis, protein sequencing, peptide profiling, proteomics research, pancreatic enzyme digestion of peptide segments on Z-D gels, etc.
