Protein pada diet digestikan menjadi AA dengan protease yang merupakan bentuk aktif zymogen di gaster dan intestine.
HCl dari parietal cell merangsang chief cell mengaktifkan pepsinogen menjadi pepsin.
Pepsin (endopeptidase) berperan memecah ikatan peptida digugus karboksil dengan cara hidrolisa.
Pencernaan protein di pankreas dimulai dengan makanan tiba dari lambung ke usus halus, eksokrin pankreas bekerja.
Pankreas menghasilkan Bicarbonate untuk menetralkan HCl sehingga pancreatic protease dapat bekerja.
Zymogen ini diaktivasi menjadi enzym dengan waktu kerja yang singkat.
Trypsinogen diaktifkan menjadi trypsin oleh enterokinase dari enteropeptidase dihasilkan sel brush border intestine.
Procarboxypeptidase → carboxypeptidase.
Trypsin, chymotripsin & elastase merupakan endopeptidase/serine protease.
Trypsin memutuskan gugus carboxyl dari lysine & arginine.
Chymotripsin bekerja pada hydrophobic AA.
Protein intake mengalami degradasi & dijadikan bentuk lain.
Akibat [Na + ] intra < extra cellular Na + & AA bergerak ke intracell melalui membr luminal.
Memiliki kekhasan seperti transport glutamine hanya tersedia di jaringan hati sedangkan di tempatlain tidak ada.
Antar sel Jumlah protein yang dicerna dan diabsorpsi setara dengan yang dikonsumsi (50-100gr/hari).
Na Dependent transport system mengangkut AA dari darah ke jaringan.
AA memiliki half life( jam – hari) sehingga mengalami degradasi.
Proses metabolisme dari diet protein → AA memerlukan enzyme proteolitic dari gaster, pancreas dan usus.
Transport dari sel ke cairan interstitial melalui transporter di membran serosal dan bergerak bidireksional, yaitu AA dari darah/ cairan interstitial ke cell bila puasa atau intake glukosa.
Mencerna sel yang sudah tua dan mengganti dengan yang baru.
Ginjal, hati, otot.
Protein intracellular mengalami degradasi melalui lysosome.
Absorbsi AA di small intestine diabsabssi melalui transport Aktif Na + -Dependent system.
Na + intra dipompa keluar Na + - K + -ATP ase di membran serosa.
Elastase dielastin & AA rantai pendek (Alanine, Glycine & Serine).
Arginine, an AA essential, is required in childhood for growth and is not present in adults.
The result of Carbon metabolism is CO2 and H2O.
Nonessential Asam amino are synthesized and available in the body.
Symptoms of Kwashiorkor include edema, oedema, and increased blood pressure.
Protein AA is utilized in Glucose, TAG, and Oksidasi AA.
Essential Asam amino are not available in the body and must be intake from food.
Nitrogen metabolism involves AA which is utilized as hormone, neurotransmitter, creatine phosphate, heme, melanin, protein cellular, and bases purine-pyrimidine nucleic acids.
During fasting, AA is converted to glucose/glikogen or TAG through oxidation.
Eight of the Nonessential Asam amino are derived from glucose, except for Thyrosine which is derived from AA essential phenylalanine, and Cystein which is derived from methionine.
Ubiquitin Proteasome pathway involves Prol, Glut, Ser &Threo Proteins.
Asam amino classification includes Essential/Indispensable and Non Essential/Dispensable.
Deficiency of Protein can lead to Kwashiorkor, a disease caused by protein deficiency.
The result of Nitrogen metabolism is Urea, uric acid (purine base), creatinine (creatinine phosphate), and ammonia/NH4+ which acts as a buffer (glutamine).
All of these are excreted in urine, feces (bilirubin is derived from degradation of heme), and sweat.
