Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. Pepsin acts on protein molecules by breaking the peptide bonds that hold the molecules together. Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. These enzymes also get some help from the brush border enzymes found in the small intestine.
- Protein digestion starts in the stomach.PowerPoint Presentation: Protein digestion continues in the small intestine by pancreatic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin.PowerPoint Presentation: Protein digestion is completed in the small intestine by brush border enzymes carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, and dipeptidase. Amino acid absorption is similar to that of monosaccharides, via several sodium-dependent amino acid cotransporters.
