Key Points
- Protein digestion begins in the stomach with the secretion of gastric juices.
- In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin is activated from its inactive form, pepsinogen, by hydrochloric acid (HCl).
- Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides.
- The acidic environment of the stomach is crucial for protein digestion, as it denatures proteins, making them more accessible to enzymatic action.
