∙ 12y agoThe stomach is responsible for much of the protein digestion that takes place in the body. It secretes a protease called pepsin, which breaks proteins into individual amino acids. The hydrochloric acid in the stomach serves the functions of killing microbes that are on the food, and providing the right pH for the enzymes.
