    The initial step in the digestion of milk in humans is carried out by? [AIPMT 2014]

    A)  Lipase

    B)  Trypsin

    C)  Rennin

    D)  Pepsin

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Rennin or chymosin is a protease found in rennat. It causes cleavage of a specific linkage, i.e., the peptide bond between 105 and 106 phenyl alanine and methionine and K-casein, the native substrate of this enzyme. Thus, its pressure helps in the conversion of milk into curd via changing the caesin protein of milk into caesinate.
