Question

Differentiate between trypsin and pepsin

Answer 1

Both pepsin and trypsin are proteolytic enzymes. Pepsin is secreted in the stomach, whereas trypsin is a component of pancreatic juice. Pepsinogen is activated to pepsin in the stomach on exposure to hydrochloric acid. ... Trypsinogen is activated by the action of enterokinase into active trypsin.

Q. Differentiate between trypsin and pepsin ?

$\mathcal{\huge{\underline{\underline{\green{Answer:-}}}}}$

✒ Pepsin :- Pepsin is the main proteolytic enzyme in vertebrates, which is found in the gastric juice. The inactive precursor of pepsin is pepsinogen produced by the gastric mucosa.

Trypsin :- Trypsin is a pancreatic serine protease with a substrate specificity for positively charged lysine and arginine side chains. The inactive proenzyme of trypsin is trypsinogen produced in the pancreas. The activation of trypsinogen requires the removal of terminal hexapeptide.

$\mathfrak{\huge{\underline{\purple{Pepsin:-}}}}$

• It is secreted in stomach.
• It is is situated in gastric gland.
• It acts only in acidic medium.
• it hydrolyses proteins into protosones & peptones.

$\mathfrak{\huge{\underline{\orange{Trypsin:-}}}}$

• It secrets in small intestine.
• It is situated in pancreas.
• It acts in alkaline medium.
• Along with chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase, it acts on partially digested proteins in the stomach and converts them into dipeptides.
