Proteases primarily function in the stomach and small intestine, where they break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. In the large intestine, there is little to no protease activity because the majority of protein digestion occurs earlier in the digestive process. However, some bacteria in the large intestine can produce their own proteases to help break down undigested proteins and peptides. Overall, the role of proteases is minimal in the large intestine compared to other digestive organs.
