Digestion of protein starts from stomach. In stomach the proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin are produced and act of proteins derived from food. But in general, an enzyme can break down proteins anywhere (in lab environment too) if there is optimal condition (such as buffer, pH) is provided.

Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
What enzyme breaks down cellulase?
Cellulose. The entities that break down proteins are called proteases.
Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
What is the action of pancreatic trypsin on protein?
The digestive enzyme trypsin breaks down proteins found in the stomach.
What are proteases?
Enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides
Which enzyme breaks down protein?

What enzyme speeds the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
What does protease do?
Protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins to amino acids and peptides.
What does proteins breakdown into?
protein breaks down into pectiducts from the trypsin enzyme, then it is further broken down by pectin enzyme into amino acids
What enzyme breaks down cellulase?
Cellulose. The entities that break down proteins are called proteases.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What main enzyme does the stomach secrete?
The stomach primarily secretes the enzyme pepsin, which is a type of protease, which breaks down proteins.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein foods?
