pepsin
Acid protease (EC 3.4.23.1) from stomach of vertebrates. Cleaves preferentially between two hydrophobic amino acids (eg. F-L, F-Y,), and will attack most proteins except protamines, keratin and highly glycosylated proteins. A single-chain phosphoprotein (327 amino acids; 34.5 kD) released from the e...

pepsin
(pep´sin) a proteolytic enzyme that is the principal digestive component of gastric juice. It acts as a catalyst in the chemical breakdown of protein to form a mixture of polypeptides; it is formed from pepsinogen in the presence of acid or, autocatalytically, in the presence of pepsin itself. Peps...

Pepsin
• (n.) An unorganized proteolytic ferment or enzyme contained in the secretory glands of the stomach. In the gastric juice it is united with dilute hydrochloric acid (0.2 per cent, approximately) and the two together constitute the active portion of the digestive fluid. It is the active agent i...

Pepsin
Pepsin is an enzyme whose zymogen (pepsinogen) is released by the chief cells in the stomach and that degrades food proteins into peptides. It was discovered in 1836 by Theodor Schwann who also coined its name from the Greek word pepsis, meaning digestion (peptein: to digest). It was the first anim...

pepsin
An enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins (i.e. it is a protease) to polypeptides in the vertebrate stomach. It is one of the main components, along with hydrochloric acid, of gastric juice. It is secreted as an inactive precursor called pepsinogen. Pepsin was the first animal enzyme to b.....

pepsin
pepsin, enzyme produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach that acts to degrade protein. Pepsin is one of three principal protein-degrading, or proteolytic, enzymes in the digestive system, the other two being chymotrypsin and trypsin. The three enzymes were among the first to be isolated in cryst...

pepsin
Enzyme that breaks down proteins during digestion. It is produced by the walls of the stomach. It requires a strongly acidic environment such as that present in the stomach. It digests large protein molecules into smaller protein molecules (smaller polypeptides) and is therefore a protease – an en...
