Activation: The inactive form of pepsinpepsinogen, is activated by HCl of the gastric juice, whilst the inactive form of trypsintrypsinogen, is activated by an enzyme called enterokinase. FunctionPepsin acts on proteins and converts them into peptones, while trypsin converts peptones into polypeptides.
