Rennin is a biological enzyme present in the stomach of infant mammals. It causes the milk to solidify which slows down the digestion of the milk. This is known as coagulation or curdling. This enables the infant to absorb more nutrients and proteins from the milk before it is excreted.

What does rennin do in the stomach?
Rennin helps to break down milk. Renin breaks down angiotensinogen.
What pH does rennin work best?
the optimal pH for rennin is around 1-2, as this closely resembles the acidic environment of the stomach where rennin is most commonly found. However rennin also works at neutral pH, although at a much lower level of reaction. This is necessary because sometimes the stomach is diluted by outside materials.
Where is rennin secreted?
Rennin or chymosin is secreted in the fourth stomach of a cow. See the related link for more information.
Where is protease found in your body?
I just had an assignment on this, protease is released from the pancreas and breaks down proteins in your stomach along with pepsin and rennin which are released from the stomach glands protease comes from the pancreas
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
Is rennin a catalyst?
rennin is an enzyme which makes milk harden in your stomach so that it can be broken down and digested
What is enzyme that begins milk digestion?
the answer is pepsin.
What is the enzyme in gastric fluid which coagulates casein?
Rennin
What is a milk-coagulating enzyme in children not in adults?
rennin
What difference between renin and rennin?
Rennin : It is an enzyme (protein) secreted by kidneys to regulate the blood pressure. It's a digestive enzyme in gastric juice. Renin :It is a hormone.
What happens to the enzyme rennin when the temperature is raised to the boiling point?
Disrupted.
What enzyme act on Lactose?
Rennet is a complex of enzymes that digest milk, the primary enzyme being chymosin or rennin.
When cheese is made the enzyme called rennin which curdles milk can be isolated from?
all the above !
What is the gastric enzyme found in infants?
Rennin, it helps with digestion of milk during infancy and childhood
Milk-coagulating enzyme found in children but not usually in adults is?
Rennin, it was one of my science questions :-)
When cheese is made the enzyme called rennin which curdles milk can be isolated from what?
Not c D.) All the above
Why does rennin turn milk into cheese?
Rennin is an enzyme - which binds the milk proteins together into curds. This makes the curds easy to process into cheese. The waste liquid (whey) is used in animal feed.
