Proteases are enzyme that digest proteins. In stomach we have proteases such as trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. In addition there are peptidases that digest the peptides to simple amino acids.

What is a gastric protease?
It is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach and used to digest proteins to polypeptides. It works best in acidic conditions
What is is The chief digestive enzyme in the stomach is .?
Its PEPSIN. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease). It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
What organ produces enzymes that break down fats proteins and carbohydrates?
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
What does the enzyme pepsin digest?
Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides and is found in the stomach, its secreted from the gastric glands found in the lining of the stomach.
Which enzyme will digest protein if pH is 1.6?
protease will digest protein
Why can't you use an enzyme cleaner on a wool rug or carpet?
Wool is protein. Enzymes digest proteins.
Enzyme complexes that break down protein are called?
Proteases are enzymes that degrade/digest proteins
What is a gastric protease?
It is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach and used to digest proteins to polypeptides. It works best in acidic conditions
What enzyme start to digest proteins in the stomatch?
Pepsin is produced by stomach cells in its inactive form pepsinogen, Pepsinogen is then activated by the stomach acid into its active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down the protein in the food into smaller particles.
What is proteins enzyme?
All enzymes are chemically proteins. but not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymatic proteins catalyse the biochemical conversion of substrate in to product. Good example is amylase that digest starch or glycogen to produce glucose.
Name of the protein that can destroy protein?
An enzyme called a protease would digest proteins. Examples would be pepsin and trypsin.
Does HCI digest protein?
No,a digestive enzyme known as 'Pepsin' digests proteins.But yes,HCl is an acidic medium for 'Pepsin to work.Without HCl,our body cannot digest proteins.

Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
Which type of enzyme digests fat and what does it digest fat into?
Proteases are enzymes that digest proteins. Examples of proteases that are used in the human body include Pepsin (an enzyme in the stomach), and Trypsin (an enzyme in the small intestine) which digest proteins into amino acids, or polypeptide chains composed of amino acids.
What enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes dont digest proteins they act as cataylst to break down the protein, there is a difference. :D As one enzyme is specifc to one type of protein, there are a wide variety of them, For example. Amylose (in out saliva) is catalyst by amylase the enzyme. Lactose in dairy is cataylsed by the enzyme lactase. And Cellulose (in plant cell walls) is catalysted by Celluase.
What is the digestive enzyme for protein?
Trypsin is the pancreatic enzyme which digests protein to form smaller peptides and amino acids.
