The major digestive enzyme secreted by the stomach is pepsin. Pepsin is a protease enzyme that breaks down proteins into peptides. Amylase is secreted by the pancreas and breaks down carbohydrates. Lipase is also secreted by the pancreas and breaks down fats. Disaccharidases are enzymes that break down disaccharides in the small intestine, and Pepsid is not a real digestive enzyme.
