Pepsin is found in the stomach of a human being. It turns food proteins into peptides and is considered a digestive protease.
Pepsin is found in the stomach.
This enzyme chemically digests proteins; to avoid digesting its own proteins the Chief cells of the stomach's gastric glands release this enzyme in an inactive state called Pepsinogen. The released enzyme is then activated by the stomach acid (HCl); Pepsin works best at a pH of 2.0. The small intestine has a pH of about 8.0 so this enzyme is only active in the stomach and becomes denatured in the small intestine.
Pepsin and Protease
amylase, cellulase, lactase, maltase, protease and sucrase
There are several types. Protease,tripsin,pepsin aresome
Pepsin is a type of protease that works mainly in the stomach. As a result, its optimum pH is around 2. The high acidity is provided by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Proteases are enzyme that digest proteins. In stomach we have proteases such as trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. In addition there are peptidases that digest the peptides to simple amino acids.
pepsin in the stomach and erepsin in the small intestine (ileum).
Pepsin
Pepsin is a digestive protease released by the chief cells in the stomach that functions to degrade food proteins into peptides
Pepsin and Protease
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
Protease
Pepsin is one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsin
Yes, gastric protease
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
HCL (hydrochloric acid) begins digestion in stomach.
