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 else can I help you with?
Where are most digestive enzymes produced?
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.
Where is the chyme produced?
The microscopic particles called chylomicrons are produced by cells in the small intestine. Once they are produced, they are released into the bloodstream.In the epithelial of the small intestine. :)
Chyme is created in the?
Chyme is created in the stomach through the mixing of food with gastric juices containing hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes. This semi-liquid mixture is then passed into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Are enzymes present in the stomach?
Yes, enzymes are present in the stomach. The main enzyme in the stomach is pepsin, which helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for digestion. These enzymes are secreted by the stomach lining to aid in the digestion process.
Which digestive enzymes are active at a site different from the site where they are produced?
Trypsin, lipase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, steapsin, elastases, carboxypeptidase, and nucleases. ~answered by FightingLucario
What are the enzymes produced by the esophagus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Where are most digestive enzymes produced?

Enzymes that digest carbs are produced by what organs?
stomach pancreas gall bladder
What parts of the body produce enzymes?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Where else are enzymes produced except the mouth stomach and pancreas?
gall bladder, small intestine
What is name of the liquid produced by the stomach?
The liquid produced by the stomach is called gastric juice. It is a combination of hydrochloric acid and enzymes that help break down food for digestion.
What is the acid secreated by the stomach?
Hydochloric acid is produced in the stomach to a) kill pathogens in our food b) gives optimum pH for enzymes to work in
How might stomach enzymes differ from other enzymes?
Stomach enzymes are specialized to function in the acidic environment of the stomach, whereas other enzymes may function in a neutral or alkaline environment. Stomach enzymes such as pepsin are mainly involved in digesting proteins, while other enzymes may have diverse roles in metabolism, signaling, or other biochemical processes. Stomach enzymes are secreted by the stomach lining in response to food intake, while other enzymes may be produced in various organs or tissues throughout the body.
Which process in a human requires that enzymes be secreted into gastrointestinal tract?
Chemical digestion in humans requires enzymes to be secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and stomach, among other organs.
What enzymes are in the esophogus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Explain how bile produces by the liver and enzymes produced in the pancreas function in the small intestine?
The bile produced in the liver eats the fats in the food and the enzymes produced in the pancreas breaks down the fats before the the bile eats it because the enzymes break down the fats in to smaller particlesIt helps neutralize the stomach acid so it wont burn it.as part of the digestive system, the pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.

The microscopic particles called chylomicrons are produced by cells in the small intestine. Once they are produced, they are released into the bloodstream.In the epithelial of the small intestine. :)
