In this study, zein, a very abundant and cheap crop in China was hydrolyzed by thermolysin, chymotrypsin, trypsin and alkaline protease for processing antihypertensive peptides.
Methods The sciatic and brachial plexus nerve of three-day-old SD mice was treated with collagenase type IV and trypsin to remove the desmocyte on the Schwann cell, then explanted in the culture disk.
There's also pancreatic amylase which breaks down carbohydrates into shorter oligosaccharides, and proteases, like trypsin, which cleaves proteins down into smaller peptides.
Trypsinogen might then be turned into activated trypsin which begins the cascade of digestive enzyme activation and autodigestion of the pancreas—which is acute pancreatitis.
Another effect of unchecked inflammation in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is chronic bronchitis, resulting from increased mucus production and narrowing of the airways.
To digest a meal, these zymogens are released into the pancreatic duct, and delivered to the small intestine where they are activated by the protease trypsin.
You've got trypsin and peptidase in there, which break proteins down into amino acids, and you have lipases that turn triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol.
Diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency often begins with a chest X-ray or Chest CT to look for hyperinflated lungs or evidence of damaged lung tissue.
