Human Digestive Proteases:


  • Pepsin = stomach
  • Trypsin = duodenum
  • Chymotrypsin
  • Carboxypeptidase




Stomach = two types of pepsins (these are activated from zymogen precursors at acidic pH).



Duodenum = Endopeptidases (trypsin, chymotryopsin, elastase)

Exopeptidases (carboxypeptidases A & B)

Enteropeptidase



Small Intestine = Aminopeptidase N

Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV

Aminopeptidase P

Carboxypeptidase P

Angotensin-converting enzyme

Glutamyl aminopeptidase
