Precursor Trysinogen is an inactive enzyme which is converted to Trypsin by the enterokinase from the ileum. It's then released into the duodenum by secretin from the gut walls or mucosa cells of the duodenum.

What activates trypsinogen?
Trypsinogen is activated by Trypsin -> its action is proteins -> peptides
How does trypsin gets its name?
Trypsin is one of the 3 proteolytic digestive enzymes produced in the pancreas as Trypsinogen and is activated in the Duodenum. Trypsin derives its name from the Greek word tryein- wear down + (english) pepsin -akin to.
How trypsinogen is activated?
By enterokinase.
Where in our bodies would you find trypsin?
Trypsin can be found in the small intestine. Trypsinogen is released by the pancreas into the duodenum or the small intestine where it reacts with enterokinase released by the intestinal glands which turns it into trypsin. this is so that the enzyme does not digest the tissues immediately after being released.
The enzyme necessary converting trypsinogen to trypsin is?
enterokinase
What is the name of the first 10 inches of the small intestine?
That part is called as duodenum. You have first, second, third and forth parts of the duodenum.
What are the two main brush border proteases?
trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen
How did fish antifreeze originate?
Fish antifreeze originated from an ancestral trypsinogen gene.
Into what structure does the gallbladder empty?
The duodenum
What is the role of enterokinase?
Enteropeptidase (a.k.a. enterokinase) is an enzyme involved in human digestion. It is produced by cells in the duodenum wall, and is secreted from duodenum's glands, called the crypts of Lieberkühn, whenever ingested food enters the duodenum from the stomach.Enteropeptidase has the critical job of turning trypsinogen (a zymogen) to trypsin, indirectly activating a number of pancreatic digestive enzymes. Therefore it technically doesn't digest any food particles by itself. Enteropeptidase is a serine protease enzyme, that essentially cleaves after Lysine if the Lys is preceded by four Asp and not followed by a Pro. The generalized reaction catalysed by Enteropeptidase is:trypsinogen --> trypsin + octapeptide
The second part of the small intestine?
The three parts of the small intestine: 1. The duodenum 2. The jejunum 3. The ileum
Does the ileum or the duodenum come 1st?
the duodenum comes first
