regularstudent  Isn't the brush border still part of the intestinal lumen? Don't the amino acids enter into the intestinal cell (the "intestinal mucosa")? +1
drdoom  @regularstudent No, the lumen is literally the cavity—the empty space. +2
jj375  Still annoyed about this question, but here is a schematic in case it helps anyone else: https://doctorlib.info/physiology/medical/medical.files/image1890.jpg +2
drdoom  @jj375 best schematic i’ve seen so far. superb. +2

colonelred_  Enterokinase actives trypsinogen and is located closer to the intestinal mucosal (“brush border”). +2
drdoom  Yeah, @colonelred is right. @medstruggle: the duodenal lumen (and the pancreatic /proteases/ you mention) is the site where pancreatic enzymes (“endopeptidases”) cleave large polypeptides into smaller bits. It is at the BRUSH BORDER where the smallest kinds of peptides (dipeptides, tripeptides) are broken down into their amino acids, which finally can be co-transported with Na+ into the intestinal cell. I think about it this way: stomach acid denatures and “opens up” proteins (without any specific cleavage); pancreatic enzymes then cleave denatured polypeptides into smaller bits; brush border enzymes finally break down tiny peptides into absorbable amino acids. +4
drdoom  Nice schematic, @welpdedelp +1
