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 πέψις pepsis, meaning `digestion` (from πέπτειν peptein `to digest`). It was the first enzyme to be dis...

• (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 in the gastric juice of all animals.Pepsin: words i...

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...

<protein> Acid protease from stomach of vertebrates. Cleaves preferentially between two hydrophobic amino acids (e.g. 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 enzymatically inactive zymogen, pepsinogen, by aut...

(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. Pepsin also has milk...

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 enzymatically inactive zymogen, pepsinogen, by autocatalysis at acid pH in the presence of HCl. One of the peptides cleaved off in this process is a pepsin inhibitor and has to be further degraded to allow the pepsin to have full activity.

Type: Term Pronunciation: pep′sin Definitions: 1. A group of closely related aspartic proteinases. Pepsin A is the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice, formed from pepsinogen; it hydrolyzes peptide bonds at low pH values (is alkali-labile), preferably adjacent to phenylalanyl and leucyl residues, thus reducing proteins to smaller mole...

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 enzyme that breaks down a protein
