A) Amino peptidase
B) Carboxy peptidase
C) Trypsin
D) Pepsin
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The gastric juice is secreted in considerable amount, with pH range of 1-3.5. It contains 97-99% water, 0.2 to 0.5% \[\text{HCl}\] and rest mucous, salt and enzymes. Pepsin is one of the major enzyme present in the gastric juice. Pepsin is secreted as pepsinogen (inactive form) converted into active form of \[\text{HCl}\]endopeptidase in nature, ie, does not require any terminus for attack, works on interstitial sites. Converts protein molecules (especially of collagen) into proteoses, peptones and ultimately into large polypeptides.
