Rennin is an enzyme found in the gastric juice of many infant mammals, including humans, that helps to digest milk proteins. It works by breaking down the protein casein, which is the main protein in milk, into smaller peptides and amino acids. Rennin is produced by specialized cells in the stomach called chief cells.

Pepsinogen is an inactive precursor form of the enzyme pepsin, which is also found in the gastric juice of mammals. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. It does not play a role in the digestion of milk proteins.

Gastrin is released in response to the presence of food in the stomach and helps to regulate the digestive process. It does not play a role in the digestion of milk proteins.

Renin is an enzyme that is produced by cells in the kidneys and helps to regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. It does not play a role in the digestion of milk proteins.
