Protease and Proteins
Protease enzymes are essential for breaking down the proteins we eat into amino acids for growth and repair.
Which organ produces a protease that works in acidic conditions?
What is Protease and Proteins?
"Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins into their constituent amino acids."

Protein Breakdown
Proteases break down proteins into amino acids.
Produced in the stomach (pepsin), pancreas, and small intestine.
Amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream.
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid specifically to provide the optimum pH for protease.
