E0159500 (ĕn′tə-rō-kī′nās′, -nāz′, -kĭn′ās′, -āz′)n. An enzyme secreted by the upper intestinal mucosa that catalyzes the conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin. Also called enteropeptidase.

n. an enzyme of the intestinal mucosa that promotes the conversion of trypsinogen into trypsin. [1900–05]
Thesaurus
Noun1.enterokinase - enzyme in the intestinal juice that converts inactive trypsinogen into active trypsinenzyme - any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions
Translations

Enterokinase


enterokinase

[‚ent·ə·rō′kī‚nās] (biochemistry) An enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin.

Enterokinase

 

a proteolytic enzyme of the class of endopeptidases. Enterokinase is a complex protein containing carbohydrates (glycoprotein). It has been discovered in man and some other mammals. The enzyme is secreted by cells of the mucosa of the duodenum into the lumen of the intestine, where it activates trypsinogen, which enters through the pancreatic duct. The enzyme trypsin thus formed activates trypsinogen and all the other proteolytic enzymes of pancreatic secretion. The direct participation of enterokinase in the digestion of food is insignificant, since only an extremely small quantity is present.

enterokinase


enteropeptidase

 [en″ter-o-pep´tĭ-dās] an enzyme of the intestinal juice secreted by the duodenal mucosa; it activates the proteolytic enzyme of the pancreatic juice by converting trypsinogen into trypsin.

en·ter·o·pep·ti·dase

(en'tĕr-ō-pep'ti-dās), An intestinal proteolytic glycoenzyme from the duodenal mucosa that converts trypsinogen into trypsin (removes a hexapeptide from trypsinogen). Synonym(s): enterokinase

enterokinase

(ĕn′tə-rō-kī′nās′, -nāz′, -kĭn′ās′, -āz′)n. An enzyme secreted by the upper intestinal mucosa that catalyzes the conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin.

TMPRSS15

A gene on chromosome 21q21 that encodes a serine protease responsible for activating pancreatic proteolytic proenzymes by catalysing the conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin, which in turn activates other proenzymes, including chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidases and proelastases. It is localised at the intestinal brush border.
Molecular pathology
Defects in TMPRSS15 are a cause of enterokinase deficiency.
