Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the activation peptide of human cationic trypsinogen have been found in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Previous biochemical studies demonstrated that mutations p.D19A, p.D22G, and p.K23R strongly stimulate trypsinogen autoactivation. In the present study, we characterized the cell biological effects of these mutants using human embryonic kidney 293T and AR42J rat acinar cells. We found that...
