Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
What else can I help you with?
What enzyme start to digest proteins in the stomatch?
Pepsin is produced by stomach cells in its inactive form pepsinogen, Pepsinogen is then activated by the stomach acid into its active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down the protein in the food into smaller particles.
Is pepsin a protein?
Yes, pepsin is a protein.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
What type of molecules do pepsin create?
Pepsin is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach. It splits protein molecules in order to create proteoses and peptones.
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
Is pepsin produced by the pancreas?
Pepsin is an enzyme whose responsibility it is to break down proteins in the body. Pepsin is not produced by the pancreas; it is produced by the stomach.
What are the enzymes produced in the stomach?
The main enzyme in the Stomach is Pepsin which is used to digest protein. Only protein digestion occurs in the stomach and almostt no absorption, (only a little alcohol). This protein is not secreted as its active form (ie not as pepsin) but as the Zymogen (the inactive precursor to proteins) Pepsinogen which cleaves in a low pH to form the active enzyme.
What secretions contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin?
Gastric juice, produced in the stomach, contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. Hydrochloric acid helps to break down food and create an acidic environment for pepsin to function, which is an enzyme that aids in protein digestion.
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
What enzyme digest protein?
Pepsin
Is pepsin a protein enzyme?
yes
Where is pepsin produced?
pepsin (which breaks down protein) is produced in the stomach unlike the enzymes amylase (which breaks down carbohydrates) and lipase (which breaks down lipids or fats) which are produced in the pancreas.
