Trypsin is a serine protease enzyme (EC number of 3.4.21.4), which hydrolyses esters of basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine in the peptides. Optimal temperature for trypsin activation is around 37 degrees Celsius and its optimal pH is around 7.5 to 9.0. Trypsin is available in the form of immobilized enzyme where it is attached to an inert support such as dextran, sephadex, cellulose, starch etc. Immobilized Trypsin is supplied in preservatives such as glycerol and sodium azide as a slurry. It finds applications in research for the purpose of protein identification, protein characterization, study of post translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions.
Immobilized trypsin, is used in treating several gastrointestinal issues and the incidence rate of these issues worldwide is driving the growth of the global immobilized trypsin market. For instance, according to Medical News, four in every ten adults residing in the world suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders of different severity. This was proved in a study carried out by scientists working at the University of Gothenburg and included 73000 individuals from 33 countries. Moreover, the market key players are continuously focusing on various launches and acquisitions, which in turn is also enhancing the growth of the global immobilized trypsin market.
