peptidase

Examples of peptidase in the following topics:

• Histology of the Large Intestine

  • These enzymes include peptidases, sucrase, maltase, lactase and intestinal lipase.

• Hydrolysis

  • Proteins are broken down by the enzymes trypsin, pepsin, peptidase and others.

• Mechanisms of Chemical Digestion

  • The enzymes are divided into endo- and exo-peptidases.

• Digestion and Absorption

  • Further breakdown of peptides to single amino acids is aided by enzymes called peptidases (those that break down peptides).
