Protein digestion begins in the stomach, chiefly with the action of the hydrochloric acid that is produced there, and by the enzyme called pepsin (PEP-sin). Some seven or moreâ¦ factors influence how fast the enzymes act on the protein.
1. Proteases Digestion of proteins is initiated by pepsin in the stomach, but the bulk of protein digestion is due to the pancreatic proteases.Several proteases are synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the lumen of the small intestine.hree major groups of enzymes are critical to efficient digestion: 1. Proteases. Digestion of proteins is initiated by pepsin in the stomach, but the bulk of protein digestion is due to the pancreatic proteases.
