Summary | This gene encodes an enzyme that proteolytically activates the pancreatic proenzyme trypsinogen, converting it into trypsin. The encoded protein is cleaved into two chains that form a heterodimer linked by a disulfide bond. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]. |
