    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • serum calcium decreasing factor
  • degrades all trypsin and trypsinogen isoforms with high specificity
  • key regulator of activation and degradation of cationic trypsin (in the high Ca(2+) environment of the duodenum, facilitates trypsinogen activation, whereas in the lower intestines, promotes trypsin degradation as a function of decreasing luminal Ca(2+) concentrations)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, degradation
