Is it found in your stomach where it degrades your food.
the enzyme found in gastric juice is Pepsinogenand it only works in an acidic environment (hydrochloric acid is in the stomach)then when that enzyme gets mixed with the hydrochloric acid it creates pepsin and pepsin breaks down proteins into amino acid chainsthere are also other enzymes like:HClReninPepsinogenGelatinaseGastric AmylaseGastric Lipase
Pepsin is a powerful protein digesting enzyme which is far too dangerous in its active form so it is released in an inactive pepsinogen form by the cell and activated only in the digestive tract where it is required to be active.
Pepsin works best in acidic environments and it's optimal pH (the pH at which it works best) is 2.0
Enzymes splitting carbohydrates, sucrase, maltase, lactase; enzymes splitting proteins such as carobxypeptidase, elasatase and fat slpitting enzymes such as intestinal lipase and nucleic acid spiltting enzymes such as ribonuclease are found.
The optimum pH of pepsin is pH2. Pepsin is found in the stomach and it is protease enzyme that digest protein into smaller molecule. The stomach is suitable place for it because it is acidic , so it's activity increases in the acidic environment.
Pepsin is not found in mouth!
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
an enzyme found in the stomach is PEPSIN
Pepsin
Pepsin is an example.
Pancreatic amylase Lipase Pepsin Salivary amylase Maltase Rennin (younger version of pepsin mostly found in babies)
it is found in the stomach of diffrent animals
It contains of hydrochloric acid and 2 enzymes, pepsin and rennin. the acidity of hydrochloric acid helps in activating pepsinogen and prorennin(the inactive form of pepsin and rennin respectively)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the chemical found in the stomach that is needed to activate pepsinogen to its active form, pepsin. HCl creates an acidic environment in the stomach that enables pepsinogen to undergo a conformational change and become pepsin, which is essential for protein digestion.
Pepsin is an enzyme that is found in the stomach. It plays a key role in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides for digestion. Pepsin is produced by the chief cells in the stomach lining and activated in the acidic environment of the stomach.
Pepsin is the powerful enzyme in gastric juice that digests proteins such as those in meat, eggs, seeds, or dairy products in the stomach. Since animals have stomachs, they therefore have pepsin.
