Chymotrypsin C

Chymotrypsin C is a pancreatic serine endopeptidase in family S1 formed from pig chymotrypsinogen C and from cattle subunit II of procarboxypeptidase A; it reacts more readily with Tos-Leu-CH2Cl than Tos-Phe-CH2Cl (unlike chymotrypsin) and preferentially cleaves Leu, Tyr, Phe, Met, Trp, Gln and Asn bonds. By digesting dietary proteins it completes pancreatic proteolysis. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms.
