1
New cards

Pepsinogen → Pepsin (Stomach)

  • Pepsinogen is denatured (opens up) when exposed to HCl (Has to occur in a HCl/acidic environment

  • It autoclaves itself

  • Is now active pepsin


[ HCl does not activate or autoclaves it but is still required for the transition from pepsinogen to pepsin ]


2
New cards

Trypsin (Pancreatic)

  • Produced as trypsinogen

  • Trypsinogen → Trypsin (activated by enterokinase from SI)

  • Once activated, remaining trypsinogen is activated trysin


[ Trypsinogen: Produced in the pancreas then released into the duodenum ]


[ Only the first batch of trypsinogen is activated by enterokinase. It is then activated by trypsin ]

3
New cards

Chymotrypsin (Pancreatic)

  • Produced as chymotrypsinogen

  • Chymotrypsinogen →Chymotrypsin (activated by trypsin)


4
New cards

Carboxypeptidase (Pancreatic)

  • Produced as procarboxypeptidase

  • Procarboxypeptidase → Carboxypeptidase (activated by trypsin)


5
New cards
