Lipase is the pancreatic enzyme that works on fats. It helps break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
The enzyme that digests proteins is called pepsin. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids in the stomach.
Proteases are enzyme that digest proteins. In stomach we have proteases such as trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. In addition there are peptidases that digest the peptides to simple amino acids.
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).
Pepsin (excreted by glands in the stomach) digest proteins into polypeptides in the stomach, whereas the trypsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) digest proteins into polypeptides in the small intestine. Then the erepsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) further digest them into amino acids.
pancreatic juice contains an enzyme called Tripsin present in our small intestine for the digestion of proteins into amino acids.
The main digestive enzyme for protein is pepsin, which is produced in the stomach. Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptides by cleaving the peptide bonds between amino acids. This process is essential for proper protein digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down maltose (a type of sugar) into glucose. Protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids.
Lipase is the pancreatic enzyme that works on fats. It helps break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
Pancreatic trypsin acts to break down proteins into smaller peptides by cleaving peptide bonds at specific sites. It specifically targets peptide bonds involving the amino acids lysine and arginine. This process is crucial for protein digestion and absorption of amino acids in the small intestine.
Pancreatic juice contains enzymes that digest carbohydrates,fats, nucleic acids,and proteins.
I'm assuming you're talking about digestion. Proteins are broken down by enzyme pepsin in the gastric juice in stomach to form polypeptides. Proteins are also broken down by enzyme trypsin in the pancreatic juice in the duodenum to form polypeptides. Polypeptides are then broken down by enzyme erepsin in intestinal juice in small intestines (ileum) to form amino acids.
Enzymes are made from amino acids and are proteins.
There are protein substrates, but not all substrates are proteins. Lipid, carbohydrates, nucleic acids can also act as substrates to its specific enzyme. but enzyme can be only proteins and not Lipid, carbohydrate.
The enzyme that digests proteins is called pepsin. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids in the stomach.
The Pancreae is the organ prducing three enzymes, amylase,protease and lipase. Pancreatic lipase breaks down large fat molecules contaning one glycerol and three fatty acids to small digested molecules. Simple answer to your question: Pancreatic Lipase :D
