Pancreatine
Introduction
Pancreatine is a serine protein hydrolytic enzyme extracted from the pancreas. Its main function is to hydrolyse the peptide chain connected to lysine or arginine to remove intercellular mucin and glycoprotein.
Chemical properties
Pancreatine are a mixture of enzymes extracted from the pancreas of pigs, sheep or cattle. It is a white or slightly yellowish powder, partially soluble in water. The aqueous solution is stable at Ph2 to 3, and unstable above pH6. The presence of Ca2+ can increase its stability. It is partially soluble in a low-concentration ethanol solution, insoluble in organic solvents such as high-concentration ethanol.
USE
Pancreatine is used to replace Chemicalbook therapy for pancreatic exocrine function deficiency caused by various causes .This product contains a variety of digestive enzymes such as trypsin and amylase, which can digest protein and starch. It also has a digestive effect on fat. It is used for pancreatic disfunction, indigestion in diabetics, etc. This product is most effective when it is neutral or slightly alkaline, so it is often used in combination with sodium bicarbonate.
