PRSS1基因编码的功能和结构描述

这个基因编码一种胰蛋白酶原，它是丝氨酸蛋白酶家族的一员。这种酶由胰腺分泌，在小肠内分裂成活性形式。它对涉及赖氨酸或精氨酸的羧基的肽键具有活性。该基因突变与遗传性胰腺炎有关。这个基因和其他一些胰蛋白酶原基因定位在7号染色体上的T细胞受体β位点。

This gene encodes a trypsinogen, which is a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. This enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and cleaved to its active form in the small intestine. It is active on peptide linkages involving the carboxyl group of lysine or arginine. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary pancreatitis. This gene and several other trypsinogen genes are localized to the T cell receptor beta locus on chromosome 7.
