Proteases are primarily secreted in the stomach and the pancreas. In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin is secreted by gastric cells in an inactive form and activated by stomach acid to aid in protein digestion. The pancreas secretes various proteases, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, into the small intestine, where they continue the process of protein breakdown into smaller peptides and amino acids.

Name a use for both protease and lipase?

Protease and Lipase are both enzymes that are secreted during digestion. Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids, which can then be used by the body for growth and repair. Lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into glycerol and fatty acid chains; which form cell membranes and can be respired to release a lot of energy (double the amount per mole of carbohydrate.


What is the formula for protease?

Protease is an enzyme. It is essentially a protein. Protease is not a compound and therefore its formula cannot be given out. Protease are a class of enzymes involved in digesting proteins. The basic mode of action can be described as: Protein + Protease -----> Digested protein + protease Since enzymes do not react in a biochemical reaction (they are merely catalysis), protease appears on both sides of the reaction shown above
