(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5645
Official gene symbolPRSS2
Full nameprotease, serine, 2 (trypsin 2)
Aliases,MGC111183,MGC120174,TRY2,TRY8,TRYP2,
Gene summaryThis 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. This gene and several other trypsinogen genes are localized to the T cell receptor beta locus on chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq]
