What does the zymogen cell secrete?

Zymogen cells secrete inactive enzyme precursors called zymogens. These zymogens are activated outside the cell to prevent damage to the cell itself. When needed, they are converted into active enzymes to perform their specific functions in the body, such as breaking down proteins or carbohydrates.


What is the pancreatic enzyme that activates the zymogens?

trypsin


Are the digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas produced as inactive precursors or are they activated in the digestive tract by proteolysis?

The digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are typically produced as inactive precursors (zymogens). These inactive forms are activated in the digestive tract when specific proteases cleave them to their active forms, ensuring they are only active when needed for digestion.


What are zymogens?

zymogen granules active the other enzymes for digestion.


Why pancreas is not digested by its own enzymes?

The acinar cells of the pancreas secrete proteolytic enzymes as zymogens or proenzymes. These enzymes are in their inactive form and must be activated by something else. One of these enzymes, trypsinogen, is activated by enterokinase found in the cells that make up the duodenum wall. Once activated to trypsin, it activates the other digestive enzymes.


What are the digestive enzymes secreted as inactive proteins called?

To protect the body.


Why can erepsins be stored in active forms?

Erepsins, digestive enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, can be stored in active forms because they are secreted as inactive zymogens or proenzymes. When needed, these zymogens are activated by specific conditions in the digestive tract, such as low pH or the presence of other enzymes, to prevent self-digestion or the digestion of other tissues before reaching their target sites.

How does the pancreas prevent digesting itself with the peptidases it produces?

Pancreatic enzymes aren't "activated" until they reach the small intestine. If they're activated just after they're produced, pancreatitis can result as the enzymes try to digest the pancreas. Pancreatitis is very painful and often fatal. I have a cat with chronic pancreatitis who has to take steroids, probiotics, nutritional supplements, and antibiotics.

Do you have to activated and how it you can?

When one really has activated, and even as decided once to use even go, it is then that he really has been can activated.
