Question

what is trypsin describe it's function
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. In humans, the protein is produced in its inactive form, trypsinogen, within the pancrease. Trypsinogen enters the small intestine, via the common bile duct, where it converted to active trypsin.

$\mathsf\red{● \: Explaination}$

Pancreatic juice is secreted by acinar cells of pancreas. It contains a carbohydrate digesting enzyme - pancreatic amylase, protein digesting enzymes in inactive forms, namely trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and carboxypeptidases, a fat digesting enzyme, pancreatic lipase. The enzyme trypsin is synthesized by pancreas in an inactive form trypsinogen. Trypsinogen gets activated to trypsin by enzyme enterokinase present in the intestinal juice. Trypsin hydrolyses proteins into peptides.
