Different Types of Enzymes


Protein Related

Enzyme: endopeptidase
Produced in: Pancreas
Substrate: Peptide Bonds
Produced: Peptides
This happens next: The peptides are then broken up by exopeptidase to form single Amino Aids.

Enzyme: exopeptidase
Produced in: Pancreas
Substrate: Peptides
Produced: Individual Amino Acids

Lipid Related

Enzyme: Lipase
Produced in: Pancreas
Used in: Small Intestine
Substrate: Lipids
Produced: Fatty Acids and Glycerol
This happens next: The fatty acids are emulsified by Bile.

Chemical: Bile (salts)
Produced in: Liver
Used For: The emulsifying of lipids to enable fat digestion and absorption through the intestine wall.

Carbohydrate Related

Enzyme: Amylase
Produced in: pancreas and salivary glands (also fallopian tubes)
Substrate: Starch
Produced: Maltose
This happens next: The maltose is broken down into glucose by the enzyme Maltase.

Enzyme: Maltase
Produced in: Intestines
Substrate: Maltose
Produced: Glucose
This happens next: The glucose is used in respiration to produce energy.
