    This document lists several digestive enzymes, their sites of production and action. Lipase is produced in the pancreas and acts in the small intestine to break down triglycerides. Endopeptidase is produced in the stomach and pancreas and acts in the stomach and small intestine to break down polypeptides. Exopeptidase and Dipeptidase are produced in the pancreas and small intestine and act in the small intestine to break down polypeptides and dipeptides respectively. Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas and acts in the mouth and small intestine to break down starch. Maltase is produced in the small intestine and acts there to break down maltose.
