what is the name of the protease which is released in the stomach?
pepsin
section::::regulation.









































proteases are usually synthesized as large precursor proteins called zymogens, such as the serine protease precursors trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, and the aspartic protease precursor pepsinogen. the protease is activated by removal of an inhibitory segment or protein. activation occurs once the protease is delivered to a specific intracellular compartment (for example the lysosome) or extracellular environment (for example the stomach). this system prevents the cell that produces the protease from being damaged by it.
