THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

Oxyntic glands also consist of chief cells that secrete the zymogen pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is the precursor to the proteolytic enzyme pepsin and need to be activated to pepsin through the acidic pH of the tummy (under three.five) or from autoactivation by pepsin itself. Pepsin then acts on The inner peptide bonds of proteins in the exceptional pH o
