“…With the exception of four proteins for which no expression data was available, we found that all detected host proteins are present in pancreatic juice, small intestine, colon, rectum and stomach, with particularly high numbers expressed in human pancreatic juice, and the colon ( table 1 ). Pancreatic juice neutralizes stomach acid as it passes from the stomach into the small intestine, and contains multiple digestive enzymes [ 51 ]. The detection of proteins expressed in the stomach, pancreatic juice, and the small intestine was therefore consistent with a digestive proteome, while proteins expressed in the colon and rectum were expected in a faecal proteome and supported a host origin.…”

“…The gastric transit time may vary, but it is estimated in average to take around 1 to 2 h before the gastric content is released into the duodenum of the small intestine, which provides a neutral environment with a pH of around 6.5 (Marciani et al, 2001). In the duodenum, the dietary proteins are subjected to the endopeptidases trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase, and the exopeptidases carboxypeptidase A and B, produced by the pancreas (Bhagavan & Ha, 2015). The brush border also plays an important role in the digestion of dietary proteins, where neutral endopeptidases are anchored into the apical side of the epithelial cells as integral membrane proteins with their active site projecting into the lumen.…”

“…The first step in proteins’ degradation occurs in the mouth [ 25 ]. Once the denaturized proteins reach the small intestine they are subjected to both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity [ 26 ] in the epithelial brush border [ 27 ].…”
