Pepsin is one among the primary digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it aids in the breakdown of the proteins in food. It is produced in the gastric chief cells of the stomach lining. It is produced by the gastric glands of the stomach which works in an acidic environment.
In the digestive systems of several animals, trypsin, a serine protease from the PA clan superfamily, hydrolyzes proteins. It is produced by the exocrine glands of the pancreas and works in an alkaline environment.
