A 58-residue protein whose binding to various serine proteases has been extensively studied. It is highly homologous to a family of mamba snake dendrotoxin proteins that inhibit various K+ channels. It also binds to an intracellular site associated with the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel..
Unit Definition
One trypsin unit will produce a ΔA253 of 0.001 per min with BAEE as substrate at pH 7.6 at 25 °C; reaction volume 3.2 ml, 1 cm light path.
Preparation Note
Prepared by method of Kunitz and Northrup, J. Gen. Physiol., 19, 991 (1936).
Analysis Note
One mg of trypsin inhibitor will inhibit greater than 1.5 mg of trypsin with activity of approximately 10,000 BAEE units per mg protein.

PeaT1 is a proteinaceous elicitor from fungal pathogen Alternaria tenuissima. Our previous research revealed that this elicitor could induce defense response and enhance disease resistance in various plants including Nicotiana plants. However, immune activation mechanisms whereby PeaT1 elicits defense response

Human mesotrypsin is highly homologous to other mammalian trypsins, and yet it is functionally unique in possessing resistance to inhibition by canonical serine protease inhibitors and in cleaving these inhibitors as preferred substrates. Arg-193 and Ser-39 have been identified as

Previous studies have demonstrated that the kidney is the major site for clearance and catabolism of a peptide (residues 43-88) of encephalitogenic or basic protein (BP) derived from central-nervous-system myelin. In the present investigation rat renal tissue was shown to

Ghrelin, the only known orexigenic gut hormone produced primarily in the stomach, has lately gained attention as a potential treatment of anorexia and cachexia. However, its biologic stability is highly limited; therefore, a number of both peptide and nonpeptide ghrelin
