胃蛋白酶, 消化蛋白质的酶
an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptides
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that plays a crucial role in the human body's digestion of proteins. It is produced in the stomach and acts to break down large protein molecules into smaller peptides. Pepsin works optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach, where it helps initiate the process of protein digestion, enabling the body to absorb essential amino acids for various biological functions.
- Pepsin is an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps break down proteins into smaller peptides.
胃蛋白酶是一种在胃中产生的酶，有助于将蛋白质分解成更小的肽。
- The acidic environment of the stomach activates pepsinogen, converting it into its active form, pepsin.
