No, trypsinogen is a zymogen, an enzyme precursor, an inactive chemical produced by the pancreas. In the intestine, trypsinogen is activated by the mucosal enzyme enteropeptidease to produce the enzyme trypsin which is critical to digestion.

How does trypsin digest protein?

Trypsin digests protein(polypeptide) by cleaving the peptide chain at specific sites. Trypsin cleaves the peptide chain after Lysine(K) or Arginine(R) residues (amino acids) except when followed by a Proline(P) residue. Generally, the tryptic digestion leaves behind the protein as peptide chains having none or one Lysine or Arginine residue. This property of trypsin is widely used to study the protein primary structure and identification of proteins by analysing the resultant peptides using mass sepectrometry (MS).
