Trypsin molecule. Molecular model of the digestive protease enzyme beta-trypsin (pink) complexed with an inhibitor (blue). Trypsin is released by the pancreas to break down proteins into smaller chains of amino acids. It is released in an inactive form (trypsinogen) and converted to trypsin in the small intestine by the action of the enzyme enterokinase.
