⠀⠀⠀ ❥ ❈ Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.

Trypsin
Explanation:-
- Trypsin is one of several proteolytic enzymes that is essential for digestion. It is a precursor (trypsinogen) produced by the pancreas and its primary function is to digest proteins. The breakdown of proteins by trypsin begins in the small intestine as trypsinogen (the inactive form of trypsin) travels from the pancreas to the small intestine. And then it is converted into trypsin.
- Trypsin (sometimes referred to as proteinase) works with two other proteins called pepsin and chymotrypsin to break down protein (from food) into amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are used for many functions in the body, including:
- Hormone production
- Hormone production Boost muscle growth
- Hormone production Boost muscle growth Repair tissue (including skin, muscle, bones, cartilage, and blood)
- Hormone production Boost muscle growth Repair tissue (including skin, muscle, bones, cartilage, and blood) Manufacture of neurotransmitters in the brain
