Which enzyme is responsible for directly activating procarbo

Which enzyme is responsible for directly activating procarboxypeptidase?

a) carboxypeptidase

b) trypsin

c) pepsin

d) enterokinase

e) aminopeptidase

Solution

To convert procarbopeptidase to carboxypeptidase i.e. in other words, activation of procarboxypeptidase, trypsin plays a vital role. Trypsin activates procarboxypeptidase in the stomach and this ensures that the cells where the procarboxypeptidase is initially synthesized is not acted upon by the activated carboxypeptidase.
