Trypsin and chymotrypsin are two different but related digestive enzymes produced and released by the pancreas. Both enzymes function within the intestine to help break down large protein molecules that we ingest in the foods we eat. Without this enzyme-aided digestion, you would be unable to get the essential amino acids required for tissue building and repair. Because these two enzymes break down proteins, they classified as proteases.

What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?

The major proteolytic enzymes in the digestive tract are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. Pepsin is mainly found in the stomach, while trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase are produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to further break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption.

What do Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest?

Trypsin digests proteins by breaking down peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of positively charged amino acids like lysine and arginine. Chymotrypsin also digests proteins but targets peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of large hydrophobic amino acids like phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine.
