Most digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. You will find that with the complex ducts throughout the human body these enzymes can travel to other areas of the digestive system. These areas include the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines.
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
Lysosome
The stomach secretes protease enzymes that work best at a pH of around 2.
Enzymes.
Nothing is in the stomach except brain
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid. That and the enzymes present and water will, in some combination, dissolve a pill.
Protein is the only nutrient broken down in the stomach. This is because only protease enzymes are present in the stomach acid.
Yes ....!! they are definitely present in the stomach ....n they help in breaking down of food and process the food further down in the process of digestion.!
Hydrochloric acid (present in the stomach) and amino acids (basic components of proteins and some enzymes).
Pepsin is activated by acid in the stomach and breaks proteins -- including those in meat, dairy, eggs and vegetable sources.
Enzymes are present throughout the entire body. Without these enzymes, simple chemical reactions would take too long to complete. Enzymes are best seen in the digestive system and in the stomach and small intestine. There, enzymes go to work breaking up nutrients such as proteins, carbs, and lipids.
First, food goes to stomach where pepsin (a protease enzyme) is released into the stomach. The food then enters the small intestine and at this point, any pancreatic enzymes are released from the pancreas. The enzymes present in the small intestine include: Lactose, DPP IV and dissacharrides.

Carbohydrate digestion happens mostly in the mouth and esophagus, surprisingly. This combines with the fact that the enzymes in saliva that cause digestion stop functioning when they reach the stomach.
The caecae secrete digestive juices and pour them into the stomach. The peritrophic membrane protects the stomach wall and is fully permeable to enzymes and digested food.
