Trypsinogen (EC 3.4.23.18/20/21/23/24/26) is the precursor form or zymogen of the pancreatic enzyme trypsin.
It is found in pancreatic juice, along with amylase, lipase, and chymotrypsinogen.
It is activated by enteropeptidase, which is found in the intestinal mucosa, to form trypsin.
Once activated, the trypsin can activate more trypsinogen into trypsin.
Trypsin cleaves the peptide bond on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine.
Trypsinogen, as a precursor of trypsin, functions as storage of an inactive form of trypsin so that it may be kept in pancreas and released in significant amount when required for protein digestion.
Trypsinogen is activated by enterokinase.
Enterokinase is produced by the mucosa of duodenum and it cleaves the peptide bond of trypsinogen after residue 15 which is a lysine.
The N-terminal peptide is discarded, and a slight rearrangement of the folded protein occurs.
The newly-formed N-terminal residue (residue 16) insert into a cleft where its α-amino group forms an ion pair with the aspartate near the active site serine, and results in the conformational rearrangement of other residues.
The amino group of Gly 193 orientates itself into the correct position which completes the oxyanion hole in active site, thereby activating the protein.[1] Since trypsin also cleaves the peptide bond after an arginine or a lysine, it can cleave other trypsinogen, and the activation process therefore becomes autocatalytic.
