Digestive Enzymes
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Hydrolase
01
Overview
Digestive enzymes are proteins that catalyze the breakdown of food into absorbable nutrients. They are essential for converting macromolecules—proteins, carbohydrates, and fats—into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. Deficiencies or dysfunction can lead to malabsorption syndromes or gastrointestinal symptoms.
