Primarily, it is active in the stomach and therefore has been termed one of the most vital digestion catalysts. The presence of pepsin in many parts of the alimentary tract is h... View Post

  • Trypsin

    Introduction Trypsin is a highly significant digestive enzyme in the human body. Its primary function consists of breaking down proteins into smaller components like amino acids in the small intestine. It is one of the few enzymes secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form known as trypsinogen.... View Post

  • Lipase
