Pactacin is a novel digestive enzyme in teleosts

Scientific Reports, 2021
Generally, animals extract nutrients from food by degradation using digestive enzymes. Trypsin and chymotrypsin, one of the major digestive enzymes in vertebrates, are pancreatic proenzymes secreted into the intestines.

Transforming Growth Factor β/Activin Signaling Functions as a Sugar-Sensing Feedback Loop to Regulate Digestive Enzyme Expression

Cell Reports, 2014
Summary: Organisms need to assess their nutritional state and adapt their digestive capacity to the demands for various nutrients. Modulation of digestive enzyme production represents a rational step to regulate nutriment uptake.
