Protein DIgestion

Protein Digestion

Mouth: Only physical digestion

Stomach:

Pepsin -> hydrolyzes peptide bonds

Small Intestine:

Proteins are broken down --> di and tri peptides

HCL in stomach converts pepsinogen to active pepson

Pancreas Secretes:

Trypsinogen, Chymotrypsinogen, Precarboxypeptidase

Prec

Brush Border Enzymes:

Amino Peptidases: hydrolyze by amine group

Dipeptidases: hydrolyzes di-peptides

Transport:

Amino Acids + Na+ and water

Dipeptides w/ H+
