Product Specific Information

Store vial at 4°C prior to restoration. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature.
This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Trypsin Antibody is an IgG fraction purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process including delipidation, salt fractionation, and ion-exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the specified buffer.
Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum as well as purified and partially purified Trypsin (Bovine Pancreas). Cross-reactivity against Trypsin from other tissues and species may occur but has not been specifically determined.

Target Information

Trypsin is a 24 kDa enzyme of the serine proteinase family. It is produced in the pancreas as an inactive precursor, trypsinogen, but the active enzyme is located in the gastrointestinal tract where it degrades proteins to large peptides. Trypsin prefers lysine and arginine residues.
One of the substrates for trypsin is chymotrypsinogen, which is cleaved to produce active chymotrypsin.
High levels of immunoreactive trypsin in the bloodstream can indicate pancreatic malfunction and this indicator is used to screen for and diagnose Cystic Fibrosis.
