Protein digestion begins with the action of an enzyme called pepsin. Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. ... Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase.

Proteins are digested in our alimentary canal with the help of enzymes like PEPSIN, TRYPSIN, CHYMOTRYPSIN, CARBOXYPEPTIDASE..

Proteins are acted upon by pepsin and converted to proteoses and peptones..

This takes place in stomach.

In infants RENNIN is also present which digests milk proteins.

(proteins,proteoses,peptones) are acted upon by trypsin, chymotrypsin, carbozypeptidase and coverts them to dipeptides..

This takes place in small intestine..

Protein digestion is completed in the brush border..

Dipeptides are converted to aminoacids by DIPEPTIDASE..

HOPE THIS HELPS

PLEASE MARK THIS AS BRAINLIEST...

THANK YOU DEAR FRIEND..
