Abstract
SPINK1, a trypsin inhibitor secreted by the pancreas, is closely associated with the development of pancreatitis. Additionally, SPINK1 exhibits multiple biological functions, acting as a trypsin inhibitor, a growth factor-like protein, and a negative regulator of autophagy. This paper reviews the role of the SPINK1 gene and its variants in pancreatitis development, its expression as TATI in cancer, and its role in oncogenesis.
