The proenzyme pepsinogen; in stomach; gets converted into the active enzyme pepsin; on exposure to hydrochloric acid. Pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).
Pepsinogen + HCl → Pepsin + Protein → Proteose + Peptone
Proteins, proteoses and peptones are acted upon by the proteolytic enzymes of pancreatic juices (in small intestine); as given below:
Proteins/Peptonse/Proteoses + Trypsin/Chymotrypsin/Carboxypeptidases → Dipeptides
The enzymes in the intestinal juice act on dipeptides to make amino acids.
Dipeptides + Dipeptidases → Amino acids
