Question

Which among the following conversion is carried out under the influence of enterokinase?

• A. Chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin
• B. Procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase
• C. Trypsinogen into trypsin
• D. Pepsinogen into pepsin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Trypsinogen into trypsin

Trypsinogen (inactive) is converted to trypsin (active) under the action of enterokinase (found in succus entericus). Trypsin is responsible for conversion of chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin and procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase.
