General description

α-Chymotrypsin belongs to the trypsin family of serine proteases. It is secreted as an inactive precursor chymotrypsinogen to the intestine. The cleavage of peptide bond at amino acid 148 forms α-chymotrypsin. Chymotrypsinogen is encoded by the gene CTRB1 and is mapped to 16q23.1 in the human chromosome.

Application

Human α-chymotrypsin has been used in a study to assess the quantitative structure-activity relationships for organophosphates binding to trypsin and chymotrypsin. Human α-chymotrypsin has also been used in a study to investigate the direct detection of native proteins in biological matrices using extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
α-Chymotrypsin from human pancreas has been used to test inhibition by N-alkyl isatins against mammalian serine proteases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A serine protease that hydrolyzes peptide bonds with aromatic or large hydrophobic side chains (Tyr, Trp, Phe, Met) on the carboxyl end of the bond.

Analysis Note

Protein determined by A1%/280

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of BTEE per min at pH 7.8 at 25°C.
