Study Set Content:
a lipolytic enzyme capable of digesting dietary fat
STEAPSIN
obtained from soybeans & is used as a laboratory reagent for converting urea to ammonia.
UREASE
THE PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES
Pepsin
Trypsin
Erepsin
Rennin
Papain
found in gastric juice, most active at a pH of 1.8 but in neutral or alkaline media. It converts CHON into proteoses & peptones. Acts only in acid media.
PEPSIN
formed when the proenzyme, trypsinogen, is acted on by the enterokinase of the intestinal juices. More active than pepsin, converting proteoses & peptones into polypeptides & amino acids. It acts best in an alkaline media of about pH8.
TRYPSIN
found in intestinal juice, it converts proteoses & peptones into amino acids.
EREPSIN
a coagulating enzyme present in the mucous membrane of the stomach of mammals. It curdles the soluble casein of milk.
RENNIN
found in unripe fruit of the papaya tree. It is a meat tenderizer.
PAPAIN
IV. THE OXIDIZING ENZYMES
❖ Peroxidase
❖ Thrombin
❖ Zymase
causes the discoloration of bruised fruits.
PEROXIDASE
converts the fibrinogen of the circulating blood into the insoluble fibrin of the blood clot
THROMBIN
although splitting monosaccharides, is essentially an oxidizing enzyme because the monosaccharide is split by oxidation.
