This acid is important for activation of pepsinogen and inactivation of ingested microorganisms such as bacteria. ... Proteases: Pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen, is secreted into gastric juice from both mucous cells and chief cells. Once secreted, pepsinogen is activated by stomach acid into the active protease pepsin,

Pepsins are synthesized as inactive pre-proenzymes, consisting of a signal peptide, activation peptide and active enzyme. The signal peptide is cleaved as the protein is inserted into endoplasmic reticulum and the resulting proenzyme - pepsinogen - is transported to the Golgi and condensed into secretory granules.

and activates pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is an enzyme that starts protein digestion. Pepsinogen is produced in cells that line the gastric pits. It is activated by cleaving off a portion of the molecule, producing the enzyme pepsin that splits off fragments of peptides from a protein molecule during digestion in the stomach.
