∙ 14y agoPeptidase is produced in the small intestine by cells covering the villi of the ileum.. Other enzymes are also produced by the small intestine all of which work best between pH 7 and 8.
Examples of enzymes produced:
maltase: This breaks down maltose to glucose.
sucrase: This breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose.
lactase: This breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose.
petidase: This breaks down polypeptides to amino acids.

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.
What are Protein hydrolyzing enzymes known as?
Proteases or peptidases are the enzymes that catalyze the breakdown (hydrolysis) of proteins into shorter chains of peptides or into their constituent amino acids. Note the process of protein hydrolysis is called proteolysis.
Difference between protease and proteinase?
Proteases: Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins into peptides or amino acids. Poteinases: A protease that begins the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins, usually by splitting them into polypeptide chains. It is also a synonym of endopeptidases (e.g. pepsin, trypsin, or papain). Note: Protease - endo- & exo- peptidases; Catalyze hydrolytic breakdown Proteinase - endo-peptidases; Begins hydrolytic breakdown by splitting
Where is semen produced in the penis?
Its not. Semen is produced in the testis & the prostate.
Where are lysosomes produced?
They are produced in cytoplasm.They are produced by golgi.
What are enzymes that release amino acids?
peptidases
In the small intestine proteins are digested by?
Trypsin and Peptidases
What nutrient does peptidase act on?
Peptidases turn polypeptides into amino acids
What enzyme changes peptides to amino acids?
Many peptidases e.g. carboxy peptidase , etc.
What is the medical term meaning an enzyme that digests protein?
A protease is an enzyme that digests protein. These enzymes are also known as peptidases.
What drug is likely to weaken the bacterial cell wall by preventing crosslinking between glycans performed by peptidases?
Penicillin, ampicillian and the like.
What are the 7 classes of protein based on function?
kinases, enzymes, peptidases, antibodies, ribosomal proteins, transcription factors, ion channels
What best describes the exocrine function of the pancreas?
The exocrine function of the pancreas is to produce digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, peptidases) that are deposited into the duodenum.
Enzyme that digest proteins?
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.
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.

What breaks down proteins?
In modern years, this was given an estimation by Muslim philosophisers, that there is nothing that is able to break down protein. But in 1987 the physician, Hue G. Rection discovered that the supplement of "your mom" breaks down protein.
