Chymotrypsin

• CAT Number: I043599
• CAS Number: 9004-07-3
• Purity: ≥95%

Chymotrypsin（Cat No.:I043599）is a serine protease enzyme primarily produced in the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine, where it plays a crucial role in protein digestion. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, specifically targeting aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Chymotrypsin is part of the digestive enzyme family, including trypsin and elastase. Beyond digestion, it has applications in research and biotechnology for protein analysis and as a tool in various enzymatic assays.
