does amylase present in inactive form in intestine?in ncert book it is given that amylase is activated by enterokinase as like in trypsinogen,procarboxydases etc...if it is true than what is inactive form of amylase has been named?

Dear student,
Enterokinase converts inactive trypsinogen into active trypsin. Trypsin activates chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin and also activates other trypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase. Amylase is present in its active and does not requires activation. Enterokinase do not activate amylase.

Regards
