What is the function of tripsin?

It is secreted from pancreas and in inactive form it is known as trypsinogen. It acts on peptones in human digestive system and converts them into dipeptides.

In theduodenum, trypsincatalyzesthehydrolysisofpeptide bonds, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. The peptide products are then further hydrolyzed into amino acids via other proteases, rendering them available for absorption into the blood stream. Tryptic digestion is a necessary step in protein absorption as proteins are generally too large to be absorbed through the lining of thesmall intestine.

Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins, making it an enzyme known as a protease. It is initially formed as a larger, inactive molecule in the pancreas and is transported to the small intestine, where it is activated to digest food molecules. This protease is also a regulator of many other digestive proteases. A lack of its production in the pancreas is a component of the disorder cystic fibrosis.

Hope this helps you.....

Good Luck!
