Chymotrypsin is an enzyme specialized in braking down milk proteins. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins, degrading them into smaller molecules called peptides. Peptides are further split into free amino acids. By MRAJW Ur Welcome x

∙ 14y agoChymotrypsinogen is an inactive enzyme precursor produced in the pancreas. When it comes into contact with enterokinase, found in the villi in the small intestine, it is activated and converted into chymotrypsin.
The enzyme converts some polypeptides to amino acids.
If it is not produced as an inactive enzyme precursor of protein-splitting enzymes it would digest the pancreas.

What is chymotrypsin used for?
Generally, the primary uses of chymotrypsin are as a digestive aid and as an anti-inflammatory agent.
How is chymotrypsin taken?
Chymotrypsin is produced from fresh hog, beef, or oxen pancreas. It can be taken orally, topically, or by injection
Is Chymotrypsin and pain killer?
Yes
What has the author Frank Tomassini written?
Frank Tomassini has written: 'A study of the deactivation of lysozyme as a result of digestion by chymotrypsin and chymotrypsin-nsg'
Substrate of chymotrypsin?
tryptophan tyrosine phenanylalanine
Can chymotrypsin treat inflammation?
As an anti-inflammatory agent, the chymotrypsin and the other protease enzymes prevent tissue damage during inflammation and the formation of fibrin clots.
Trypsin chymotrypsin aminopeptidase and dipeptidase are all?
Proteinases
What are the side effects of trypsin-chymotrypsin tablets?
what is the site effect of linzolid tablets
What is the molecular weight of chymotrypsin?
It has a molecular weight of 21,600 Daltons
Where is chymotrypsin made?
derived from a parent molecule, chymotrypsinogen in the ribosomes
Which organ creates a secreted liquid where chymotrypsin is a part off?
Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down protein is therefore most likely to be found in the GI track. It is produced by the pancreas in the human body.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
