Dr. Ronald Roth Acu-Cell AI

Enzyme Action on Dietary Protein

Yes, pepsin is a primary proteolytic enzyme that initiates the digestion of dietary proteins in the stomach.
Mechanism: Working in the highly acidic environment of the gastric juice (hydrochloric acid), pepsin breaks down complex dietary protein molecules into smaller fragments known as peptide chains (polypeptides).
Subsequent Digestion: These resulting peptide chains then pass into the small intestine, where other enzymes further break them down into absorbable amino acids.
