3.4.21.9 | more |
improved efficiency of fusion proteins cleavage by enteropeptidase by substitution of the Lys residue by Arg in specific cleavage sequence (Asp)4-Lys. 3-6fold lower amounts of the catalytic subunit of enteropeptidase is required for 95% cleavage of Trx/TRAIL and Trx/FGF-2 fusions with (Asp)4-Arg cleavage sequence in comparison to native sequence (Asp)4-Lys. Reduced amount of non-specifically cleaved peptide fragments are observed during cleavage of (Asp)4-Lys/Arg mutated fusions |

3.4.21.9 | more |
low enzyme concentrations protect hippocampal neurons against the death caused by 0.1 mM glutamate, via a proteinase activated receptor PAR1-dependent mechanism, while High concentrations of the enzyme causes the death of neurons mainly through necrosis |

3.4.21.9 | more |
low enzyme light chain concentrations protect hippocampal neurons against the death caused by 0.1 mM glutamate, via a proteinase activated receptor PAR1-dependent mechanism, while high concentrations of enzyme light chain causes the death of neurons mainly through necrosis |

3.4.21.9 | physiological function |
in duodenal fluid, the enzyme is responsible for causing pancreatitis in case of duodeno-pancreatic reflux |
732698 |
3.4.21.9 | physiological function |
the enzyme converts the inactive form of trypsinogen to active trypsin by endoproteolytic cleavage |
717891 |
3.4.21.9 | physiological function |
