In carnivores, the enzyme primarily responsible for breaking down blood is pepsin, which is secreted in the stomach as pepsinogen and activated by stomach acid. Pepsin is a protease that digests proteins into smaller peptides. Other enzymes, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, further digest these peptides in the small intestine. Additionally, enzymes like hemoglobinase can specifically break down hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in blood.
