It is pepsin from the stomach that begins protein breakdown. Enzymes in the stomach begin the breakdown process, where it is completed in the small intestine, where protein is broken down into usable (much smaller) amino-acid chains.
Hope this is helpful.

the stomach is where most digestion begins, with the small intestine carrying out more of the breakdown of protein digestion.

The Stomach

I know that food starts to break down as soon as it touches your mouth. Enzymes in your saliva start the whole process.
