What is the difference between trypsin and pepsin?

Open in App
Solution

Trypsin and Pepsin both are protein digesting enzymes.

Pepsin is produced by the glands of the stomach. It works under strong acidic Ph .(pH --1.5).

Trypsin is produced by the pancreas and it works at the basic Ph of about 8.

So this is the basic difference in their functioning.
