Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Larger polypeptides are more likely to cause an allergic reaction because they can bypass the natural digestive process and be absorbed intact into the bloodstream, where they can trigger an immune response. Amino acids and dipeptides are small enough to be digested and absorbed without causing an allergic reaction. Enzymes are not typically allergenic themselves, but can cause an allergic reaction if they are contaminated with allergenic proteins.
