- The digestion of the proteins begin in the stomach where it is acted upon by the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach, pepsin. Pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).
- Proteins, proteoses and peptons in the chyme reaching the intestine are acted upon by the proteolytic enzymes (trypsin, chemotrypsin, carboxypeptidases) of the pancreatic juice and are converted into dipeptides.
- The enzymes in the succus entericus acts on the end product of the above reaction to form the simple absorbable forms.
- Dipeptidases present in the succus entericus converts the dipeptides into amino acids. Amino acids thus formed are absorbed in the jejunum and ileum regions of the small intestine.
