SPINK1 serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 1

Gene ID: 6690, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TCP; PCTT; PSTI; TATI; Spink3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a trypsin inhibitor, which is secreted from pancreatic acinar cells into pancreatic juice. It is thought to function in the prevention of trypsin-catalyzed premature activation of zymogens within the pancreas and the pancreatic duct. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary pancreatitis and tropical calcific pancreatitis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
