Answers:
A big FAT YES!
Rennet is obtained from a calf's stomach [in the slaughterhouse] but its essential constituent is rennin which is responsible for the clotting of milk.
Rennin is an enzyme of the gastric juice (along with pepsin) which acts as an acid medium and brings about the coagulation or clotting of milk.
