Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. In humans, the protein is produced in its inactive form, trypsinogen, within the pancrease. Trypsinogen enters the small intestine, via the common bile duct, where it converted to active trypsin.

In the process of digestion, the enzyme trypsin helps in the digestion of protein.
- Trypsin breaks down proteins in the small intestine, and begins the digestion process that started in the stomach.
- It may also be called proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. The pancreas develops trypsin in an inactive form, called trypsinogen.
- Tryptic digestion is a required step in the gradual absorption of active protein, as proteins are generally large to be naturally absorbed through the small intestine lining.
