BOWMAN-BIRK INHIBITOR

Bowman Birk protease inhibitor prevents radiation-induced carcinogenesis by a reduction of incorrect DNA repairs, resulting in a reduced amount of dicentric chromosomes.

Trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor belongs to the family of plant protease inhibitors. It is mainly found in the legume (Fabaceae) and cereal (Poaceae) families. Trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor consists of many internal disulfide bonds between conserved Cys residues, which maintains structural stability and active conformation of the inhibitory loops. Trypsin-chymotrypsin has anticarcinogenic properties.
