Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes include trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase; these enzymes are secreted as zymogens, inactive precursors of the enzymes, and are activated in the lumen of the digestive canal.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to the proteases, lipase and amylase, the pancreas produces a host of other digestive enzymes, including ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, gelatinase and elastase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trypsin makes up to 19% of the protein in pancreatic juice, and is the most abundant of all pancreatic digestive enzymes. [8] Chymotrypsinogen is the second most abundant serine protease in pancreatic secretion and makes up to 9% of total pancreatic juice protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipase. This enzyme works together with bile, which your liver produces, to break down fat in your diet. Protease. This enzyme breaks down proteins in your diet. Amylase. This enzyme helps break down starches into sugar, which your body can use for energy.
