Question

What is erepsin? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

Erepsin is a protein fraction found in the intestinal juices and contains a group of enzymes that digest peptones into amino acids. It is produced and secreted by the intestinal glands in the ileum and the pancreas. It is also found widely in other cells. It is however a term now rarely used in scientific literature as more precise terms are preferred.
