Abstract excerpt
Mesotrypsin is an unusual human trypsin isoform with inhibitor resistance and the ability to degrade trypsin inhibitors. Degradation of the protective serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) by mesotrypsin in the pancreas may contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. Here we tested the hypothesis that the regulatory digestive protease chymotrypsin C (CTRC) mitigates the harmful effects of...
