Chymotrypsin-C – Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Chymotrypsin C, also known as caldecrin or elastase 4, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CTRC gene.[5][6]

Function[edit]

Chymotrypsin C is a member of the peptidase S1 family. The encoded protein is a serum calcium-decreasing factor that has chymotrypsin-like protease activity.[5]
