,Digestion And Absorption Of Proteins
Proteolytic enzymes break down dietary proteins into
their constituent amino acids.
These enzymes are produced by:
stomach
pancreas
small intestine.
There is no digestion of protein in mouth.
, Digestion in Stomach
When protein enters the stomach, gastrin stimulates the
release of :
Hydrochloric acid
Pepsinogen
Rennin in infants.
, Hydrochloric acid
Denatures proteins making their internal peptide bonds
more accessible to subsequent hydrolysis by proteoses
Provides an acid environment for the action of pepsin.
