Human Digestive Proteases:


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

Duodenum = Endopeptidases (trypsin, chymotryopsin, elastase)

Exopeptidases (carboxypeptidases A & B)

Enteropeptidase


Small Intestine = Aminopeptidase N

Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV

Aminopeptidase P

Carboxypeptidase P

Angotensin-converting enzyme
