A member asked:
Trypsin hormone is secreted by which part of a body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT a hormone: Hi. Trypsin is NOT a hormone! It's an enzyme that digests dietary proteins. Trypsin is made by the pancreas and excreted into the small intestine when a meal is eaten to break down proteins into smaller chains of amino acids in preparation for absorption into the body.
