Key Points
- Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that digests the proteins present in the stomach.
- Proenzyme pepsinogen is secreted in the stomach and gets converted to pepsin in the presence of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
- Dietary proteins that reach the stomach get digested by pepsin.
- Pepsin is most efficient in cleaving peptide bonds between hydrophobic and preferably aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine.
- Carbohydrate digestion also initiates in the mouth. Amylase, produced by the salivary glands, breaks complex carbohydrates, mainly cooked starch, to smaller chains, or even simple sugars. It is sometimes referred to as ptyalin.
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that's found throughout your body. An enzyme is a type of protein in a cell that acts as a catalyst and allows certain bodily processes to happen. Most ALP is found in your liver, bones, and kidneys.
- Maltase: converts maltose into glucose. It is present in the small intestine.
