Pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that begins the digestion of proteins by splitting them into smaller pieces. It is a gastric protease; pepsin is secreted in an inactive form, pepsinogen, which is activated by stomach acid. ... Pepsin research information...

In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin functions to break proteins into smaller pieces called polypeptides. Because pepsin can only break the bonds next to certain amino acids, proteins are only broken into these shorter chains, and not digested all the way to amino acids.

Pepsins are the principal proteases in gastric secretions of adult mammals. They are members of the family of aspartic proteases, and closely related to chymosin, ... At least 8 isozymes of pepsinogen have been identified in gastric epithelial cells, and these have ... Pepsins are synthesized as inactive pre-proenzymes,

Pepsin is of particular interest as it was the first enzyme to be discovered. The name pepsin was given by Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) in 1836, and came from pepsis, the term for digestion in Hippocratic writings.

METHODS: A major peanut allergen, Ara h 1, was digested in vitro by using both pepsin and porcine gastric fluid. Several comparisons between the 2 sets of proteolytic conditions were assessed including pH optima and the effect of temperature, denaturants, and specific enzyme inhibitors.

The method is based on the pepsin digestion of isolated immune complexes. In order to clarify whether HIV antigens are destroyed during this treatment, the pepsin sensitivity of purified recombinant env and core antigens was investigated.
