Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a trypsin inhibitor, which is secreted from pancreatic acinar cells into pancreatic juice. It is thought to function in the prevention of trypsin-catalyzed premature activation of zymogens within the pancreas and the pancreatic duct. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary pancreatitis and tropical calcific pancreatitis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Forensic Context

A study in rats demonstrated that the SPINK1 was significantly altered in expression on day 1 after a 20% total body surface area burn injury, where it was classified as a metabolism gene [Jayaraman et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jss.2007.05.025]. In nonhuman primates, transcriptomic analysis of radiation-induced lung injury identified the SPINK1 as the top upregulated transcript in survivor-specific differentially expressed genes, with its processes related to cell-cycle regulation and repair [Thakur et al. DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2021.03.058].
