Structural evolution of trypsinogen gene redundancy confers risk for pancreas diseases
2022-08-09
Abstract excerpt
Trypsin is an important enzyme secreted by the pancreas for digesting proteins. The precursors of major human trypsin are encoded by trypsinogen genes PRSS1 and PRSS2 . Here, we leveraged multi-omic data to study their evolutionary and functional impact. We estimated that the primate trypsinogen gene was duplicated from a single copy to multiple-copy 24-34 million years ago (Mya). Compared to six protein-coding ge...
