Abstract
Trypsin is one of several animal digestive proteases whose activities collectively
breakdown ingested proteins to facilitate gut amino acid absorption. The goals of this
research were to purify and characterize trypsin from intestinal and pyloric caecal tissues of
white grunt, Haemulon plumierii (Lacepède, 1801). Trypsin was purified 11-fold from
intestinal and pyloric caecal tissues of the white grunt, through the sequential application of
ammoniun sulfate fractionation, size exclusion chromatography, and affinity
chromatography. The enzyme displayed optimal activity at pH 8 and 40 oC. It was
completely inhibited by the presence of soybean trypsin inhibitor at a concentration of 100
%. SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified enzyme revealed a single band with an estimated
molecular weight of 24 kDa. This white grunt trypsin was similar to those from other fishes
in terms of its molecular weight, kinetic properties, and response to the presence of soybean

colectivamente las proteínas ingeridas, para facilitar la absorción de aminoácidos en el
intestino. Las metas de esta investigación fueron purificar y caracterizar tripsina del tejido
intestinal y ciego pilórico del pez cachicata, Haemulon plumierii (Lacepède, 1801) mediante
la aplicación secuencial de fraccionamiento con sulfato de amonio, cromatografía de
exclusión por tamaño y cromatografía de afinidad. La enzima desplegó actividad óptima a
pH 8 y a 40 oC. Tripsina fue completamente inhibida por la presencia de inhibidor de
tripsina de soya a concentración de 100 %. El análisis de SDS-PAGE de la enzima purificada
reveló una banda con un peso molecular estimado de 24 kDa. Esta tripsina de cachicata fue
similar a aquellas obtenidas de otros peces en términos de su peso molecular, propiedades
cinéticas y respuesta a la presencia de inhibidor de tripsina de soya.
