Pepsin is a powerful enzyme which acts only in acidic medium.

Explanation:

  • Pepsin is a powerful enzyme that divides large protein molecules into small peptides and absorbs almost half of Pepsin, a potent enzyme in gastric juice that digests proteins.
  • Vagus nerve impulses and chemical secretions of gastrin and secretin induce the release of pepsinogen into the intestine where it is combined with hydrochloric acid and rapidly transformed into an activated enzyme called pepsin.
  • The digestive power of pepsin is highest with the acidity of normal gastric juice (pH 1.5-2.5). Gastric acids are neutralized in the intestine (pH 7) and pepsin is no longer effective.
