Trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) is a serine protease from the PA clan superfamily found in the digestive system of many vertebrates where it hydrolyses proteins. Trypsin is produced in the pancreas as the inactive proenzyme trypsinogen. Trypsin cleaves peptide chains mainly at the carboxyl side of the amino acids lysine or arginine except when either is followed by proline. It is used for numerous biotechnological processes.
