Question

Which are all preteolytic enzymes

• A. Ptyalin, trypsin, pepsin
• B. Lipase, erepsin, trypsin
• C. Erepsin, trypsin, pepsin
• D. Pepsin, nuclease, nucleotidase

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Erepsin, trypsin, pepsin

Proteolytic enzyme, also called protease, proteinase, or peptidase, any of a group of enzymes that break the long chainlike molecules of proteins into shorter fragments (peptides) and eventually into their components, amino acids.

Trypsin is a serine protease produced in the pancreas. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, breaking down into smaller peptides. Erepsin is a protein found in intestinal juices and contains the group of enzymes that digest peptones into amino acids. Pepsin is an enzyme present in the stomach, proteinase, or peptidase, any of a group of enzymes that break the long chainlike molecules of proteins into shorter fragments (peptides) and eventually into their components, amino acids.

So, the correct answer is 'Erepsin, trypsin, pepsin'
