Explanation
Explanation Enterokinase, also known as enteropeptidase , is an enzyme produced by cells lining the duodenum in the small intestine. It plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins by activating trypsinogen, an inactive precursor of trypsin. Once trypsinogen is activated by enterokinase , it can then activate other pancreatic zymogens and initiate the digestion of proteins in the small intestine.
