Question

Human kidney produces a proteolytic enzyme called as

• A. Erepsin
• B. Steapsin
• C. Renin
• D. Trypsin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Renin

Renin is an enzyme made by special cells in the kidneys. Renin works with aldosterone (a hormone made by the adrenal glands) and several other substances to help balance sodium and potassium levels in the blood and fluid levels in the body, which affects your blood pressure. Renin is an enzyme that has the function of digesting only milk proteins to peptides.

Milk Proteins + Renin $\to$ Peptides

So, the correct answer is option C.
