A secreted KAZAL MOTIF-containing serine peptidase inhibitor that inhibits TRYPSIN. It is a protein composed of 56 amino acid residues and is different in amino acid composition and physiological activity from the Kunitz bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (APROTININ). It protects against the trypsin-mediated premature activation of ENZYME PRECURSORS in the PANCREAS. Mutations in the SPINK1 gene are associated with CHRONIC PANCREATITIS.
