Enteropeptidase is an enzyme secreted in the small intestine necessary for digestion in humans. It is necessary for trypsin activation and acts as a serine protease.

Enteropeptidase converts the zymogen trypsinogen to trypsin by selectively cleaving the 6-Lys-|-Ile-7 bond. This in turn activates other pancreatic proteolytic proenzymes such as chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidases, and proelastases [1]
