Yes.
1 Trypsin is a protease secreted into the small intestine by the pancreas. 2  As pepsin, trypsin digests proteins into peptides and amino acids and is made and secreted in an inactive form, trypsinogen. 1 Pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin, which digests proteins. 2  Pepsinogen production is stimulated by the presence of gastrin in the blood. 3  Hydrochloric acid (HCl) converts pepsinogen to pepsin which breaks down proteins to peptides. 4  HCl maintains a pH in the stomach of approximately 2.0. 1 Pepsin is a protease that begins digestion of proteins, breaking them into peptides and amino acids. 2  Pepsinogen, is secreted by gastric glands of the stomach into the stomach. 3  There, in the acid environment of the stomach, pepsinogen is converted into pepsin. Pepsin is an enzyme -- specifically, it's a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it helps digest proteins. Cells in the stomach secrete pepsin to help you digest the protein that you consume in food. Specialized cells in the intestine then absorb the digestion products of the protein into the bloodstream, and your cells take them up from there. 1 A mucous that protects the stomach lining from the acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach. 2  Pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin, which digests proteins. 3  Pepsinogen production is stimulated by the presence of gastrin in the blood. 1 There, in the acid environment of the stomach, pepsinogen is converted into pepsin. 2  Trypsin is a protease secreted into the small intestine by the pancreas. 3  As pepsin, trypsin digests proteins into peptides and amino acids and is made and secreted in an inactive form, trypsinogen. 1 Lipase from the pancreas digests lipids to fatty acids and glycerol in our small intestine. 2  Pepsin is a protease that begins digestion of proteins, breaking them into peptides and amino acids. 3  Pepsinogen, is secreted by gastric glands of the stomach into the stomach. The gastric juice in your stomach contains a protease, or protein-degrading enzyme, called pepsin, and pepsin cleaves the large, bulky, unfolded protein molecule into smaller pieces of protein known as peptides.
