It helps to digest proteins.
Pepsin works in the stomach in the digestive system.
mouth
Pepsin is a digestive protease (EC 3.4.23.1) released by the chief cells in the stomach that functions to degrade food proteins into peptides. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsin
Pepsin is an enzyme that helps break down proteins in the stomach during digestion.
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
Pancreatic amylase Lipase Pepsin Salivary amylase Maltase Rennin (younger version of pepsin mostly found in babies)
Yes, it is.
Breaks down the proteins into peptide chains
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme in the stomach, breaking down proteins into polypeptides.
Yes, pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach.
Pepsin is the "digestive juice" that digests proteins.
Pepsin breaks down proteins in the digestive system by breaking the bonds between amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. This process is called hydrolysis, where water molecules are used to break the bonds and separate the amino acids, making the proteins easier to digest and absorb in the body.
