Application and Effect
Digestive Function: Chymotrypsinogen A is converted into its active form, chymotrypsin, in the small intestine. Chymotrypsin plays a crucial role in breaking down dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, which can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body. Therapeutic Use: Chymotrypsinogen A or chymotrypsin can be used therapeutically in certain medical conditions. For example, it is used in ophthalmology for the treatment of vitreous hemorrhage or blood clots in the back of the eye. Chymotrypsin can help break down the blood clots and improve vision. Proteomics Research: Chymotrypsinogen A is commonly used in proteomics research to perform enzymatic digestion of proteins for protein identification and characterization. Its ability to cleave peptide bonds specifically at the carboxyl side of large hydrophobic amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, makes it a valuable tool in proteomic studies. Industrial Applications: Chymotrypsinogen A is used in various industrial applications such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and food industries. It can be used for the production of various peptides and amino acids. Additionally, it can be utilized in the hydrolysis of protein-based waste materials to release valuable peptides and amino acids that can be further processed.Product Packing:
