The company also asserts that secretin was even more clearly beneficial to a subset of children who had normal concentrations of two gastrointestinal proteins, calprotectin and chymotrypsin, in stool samples taken at the beginning of the trial. In contrast, PG-1 was degraded by enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin found in the lower gastrointestinal tract, thus avoiding the potential for lower G. Interestingly, this fragment also contains 11 potential chymotrypsin cleavage sites. |
