Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
What does the enzyme pepsin digest?
Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides and is found in the stomach, its secreted from the gastric glands found in the lining of the stomach.
What is the primary role of pepsin-in digestion?
Pepsin breaks apart proteins to form smaller particles called peptides. Peptides are more easily digestible by the smaller intestine

Is pepsin a peptidase?
No. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down protein to peptides. Peptidase is another enzyme that breaks down peptides to amino acid. http://www.answers.com/topic/pepsin http://www.answers.com/topic/peptidase
What explains addiction as a response to chemical disruption in the brain?
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into maltose sugars. Pepsin begins the digestion of protein to long-chain polypeptides. Trypsin converts long chain peptides into short chain peptides. And Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
In the stomach what is the acid called that breaks down the bolus?
The stomach consists of gastric gland that secrete gastric juices- HCl ,Renin and Pepsin. Pepsin acts upon proteins to convert them to peptides, smaller protein molecules. But, Hcl is needed for conversion of proteins as pepsin works best in aan acidic medium.
What type of nutrient is digested by pepsin in the stomach?
Pepsin in important for the digestion of protein. The enzyme is created in the stomach and breaks down the collagen protein.
What is the digestive enzyme for protein?
Trypsin is the pancreatic enzyme which digests protein to form smaller peptides and amino acids.
In which Organ of the digestive system does pepsin works?
Breaks down the proteins into peptide chains
What does pepsin digest?
the pepsin help the protein to digest and breaks into polypeptides
What does the pepsin do in the stomach?
Pepsin digests protein in the highly acidic environment of the stomach.
