Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that mutation of the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor ( PSTI) gene may promote a predisposition to pancreatitis, possibly by reducing the inhibition of trypsin activity. Based on this hypothesis, we performed a biochemical analysis of recombinant PSTI protein. METHODS: The trypsin inhibitory activity of the recombinant protein was analyzed. The activity of PSTI protein with a...
