Abstract excerpt
Human chymotrypsin C (CTRC) plays a protective role in the pancreas by mitigating premature trypsinogen activation through degradation. Mutations that abolish activity or secretion of CTRC increase the risk for chronic pancreatitis. The aim of the present study was to determine whether human CTRC undergoes asparagine-linked (N-linked) glycosylation and to examine the role of this modification in CTRC folding and...
