Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. Trypsinogen is not the only pancreatic enzyme secreted in an inactive form. Other proteolytic enzymes, such as chymotrypsinogen and proelastase, are also secreted in an inactive form. They are activated by trypsin, which is produced by the cleavage of trypsinogen through the action of enterokinase.
