Answer:

The main difference between pepsin and trypsin is that the pepsin is secreted by the gastric glands of the stomach whereas the trypsin is secreted by the exocrine glands of the pancreas. Furthermore, pepsin functions in an acidic medium while trypsin functions in an alkaline medium.

Pepsin and trypsin are two types of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the digestive system in order to digest proteins.

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. Pepsin shows a broad specificity for the peptide linkages in the aromatic or carboxylic L-amino acids. The hydrolysis of the peptide linkages mainly occurs at the C-terminal of the phenylalanine and leucine residues.

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. The two main types of trypsin enzymes are α- and β-trypsin. The predominant form is the α-trypsin.
