Mouse Chymotrypsin Monoclonal Antibody | anti-CTRC antibody
Chymotrypsin Monoclonal Antibody
These antibodies do not cross-react with human pancreatic trypsin.
ELISA Titer**:1:204,800
(Note: * Determined by radial immunodiffusion for several lots of ascites.
**ELISA is an indirect assay against human pancreatic chymotrypsin on the solid phase. Titers represent endpoint dilutions that achieve absorbance values >= 0.1)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 family. The encoded protein is a serum calcium-decreasing factor that has chymotrypsin-like protease activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
Uniprot Description
CTRC: Has chymotrypsin-type protease activity and hypocalcemic activity. Genetic variations in CTRC can predispose to chronic pancreatitis by diminishing its protective trypsin-degrading activity. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Elastase subfamily.
Protein type: EC 3.4.21.2; Protease
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p36.21
Molecular Function: peptidase activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity
Biological Process: proteolysis
Disease: Pancreatitis, Hereditary

2. Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
3. Study analyzed the gene encoding the trypsin-degrading enzyme chymotrypsin C in German subjects with idiopathic or hereditary chronic pancreatitis; 2 alterations in this gene were significantly overrepresented in the pancreatitis group.
