The pancreas has an endocrine function because it releases juices directly into the bloodstream, and it has an exocrine function because it releases juices into ducts. Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it continues breaking down food that has left the stomach.
Pancreatic-specific protease synthesized by pancreatic acinar cells with other digestive enzymes and found in pancreatic juice; cleaves amino acids from proteins when trypsin is present.
