The enzyme enterokinase helps in conversion of
- pepsinogen into pepsin
- protein into polypeptides
- trypsinogen into trypsin
- caseinogen into casein
Answer
(3) trypsinogen into trypsin
Solution
As per NCERT, enterokinase secreted by the intestinal mucosa activates the inactive pancreatic enzyme trypsinogen into active trypsin:
Trypsinogen Enterokinase Trypsin
Trypsin then activates the other pancreatic proenzymes.
(Pepsinogen is activated by HCl, and caseinogen is converted to casein by rennin.)
