Trypsin Enzymes
Trypsin is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in protein digestion. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and eventually into amino acids, which the body can absorb. Trypsin also activates other pancreatic enzymes, such as chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase, further aiding protein digestion. Beyond its digestive functions, trypsin may also be involved in inflammation and immune responses.
Description
Biolaxi Enzymes is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of enzymes, operating since 2007. We offer a broad range of high-quality enzymes, including trypsin enzymes, which are widely used in industrial, commercial, and biomedical applications.
Trypsin enzymes are produced through microbial fermentation. Microbial production, particularly using Streptomyces griseus trypsin (SGT), offers advantages such as scalability, consistent quality, and a reduced risk of contaminants. SGT can be expressed in various microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pichia pastoris, enabling cost-effective and sustainable large-scale production.

Mechanism
Trypsin is a serine protease that catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, specifically cleaving at the carboxyl side of lysine (K) and arginine (R) residues. This proteolytic activity breaks down complex proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids, facilitating digestion and protein analysis. The enzyme operates optimally in alkaline conditions (pH 7.0 – 9.0) and requires calcium ions for stability and activity. Its mechanism involves a catalytic triad (serine, histidine, and aspartate) that enables precise and efficient protein cleavage.
Isozymes
Trypsin enzymes exist in multiple isozyme forms, each with slight variations in structure and function. These isozymes are categorized based on their source and specific activity profiles:
Trypsin-1 (Cationic Trypsin):
- Predominant form found in the pancreas.
- High stability and activity in alkaline environments.
- Commonly used in biotechnological applications due to its robust performance.
Trypsin-2 (Anionic Trypsin):
- Less abundant but exhibits higher catalytic efficiency in certain conditions.
- Often used in specialized research applications requiring precise protein digestion.
Trypsin-3 (Mesotrypsin):
- A minor variant with unique substrate specificity.
- Resistant to natural protease inhibitors, making it valuable in specific diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
