I'm assuming you're talking about digestion.

Proteins are broken down by enzyme pepsin in the gastric juice in stomach to form polypeptides.

Proteins are also broken down by enzyme trypsin in the pancreatic juice in the duodenum to form polypeptides.

Polypeptides are then broken down by enzyme erepsin in intestinal juice in small intestines (ileum) to form amino acids.
