The protease released in the stomach is pepsin. When it is released it's in an inactive form called pepsinogen. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is also released. HCL actives the pepsinogen to pepsin so it can break down protein. Both HCL and pepsinogen are released from different cells in the glands so they don't combine until they are released into the stomach, this prevents them from eating away the stomach wall. ALSO the stomach secretes a coating of mucus from epithelial cells which helps protect the stomach lining from being digested by pepsin and HCL.

Where is protease found in your body?
I just had an assignment on this, protease is released from the pancreas and breaks down proteins in your stomach along with pepsin and rennin which are released from the stomach glands protease comes from the pancreas
What enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
Food passes from the stomach into the small?
The small intestine
What organs are connected to the stomach?
your esophagus and small intestine are attached to your stomach.
Where is protease mixed with food?
stomach, small intestine
Digestion of proteins?
Pepsin digest protein in the acidic environment of the stomach, Pancreatic Protease digests protein in the basic environment of the small intestine.
Where is proteases made?
Protease is made in the Pancreas, Small Intestine and the Stomach.
Which organ of body responsible for proteins digestion only?
Protein digesting enzymes (protease) are found throughout the digestive system. In the stomach, pepsin begins the breakdown of ptrotein into amino acids. The process continues in the small intestine, where protease is secreted by the intestine and the pancreas.
Where can protease ba found in the human body?
pepsin in the stomach and erepsin in the small intestine (ileum).
Does both the stomach and small intestine digest food?
The stomach is a generic term for the system that digests food. The small intestine is a part of that system
What enzyme is in the small intestine?
Amylase, protease and lipase are secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine. Sucrose, maltase, lactase from the wall of the intestine are also used to complete digestion.
What is the product in protease?
Protease breaks down proteins. So the products of the breakdown of proteins are amino acids. This is an enzyme often found in the stomach and small intestine.
Can you fine protease in the small intestine?
Protease is an enzyme made in the pancreas and delivered to the small intestine through the oddi sphincter.

What does insulin help digest in the small intestine?
Insulin helps in digesting Glucose in your stomach.
