Yes, enterokinase, also known as enteropeptidase, is a brush border enzyme. It is found on the brush border membrane of the duodenum in the small intestine. Enterokinase plays a crucial role in digestion by converting inactive trypsinogen into its active form, trypsin, which in turn activates other pancreatic proteases. This activation process is essential for the proper digestion of proteins in the small intestine.
