Answer:
Pepsin Pearls
Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food. Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen. Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin.

Chief cells present in the stomach secrete an enzyme called pepsinogen.
This enzyme pepsinogen is converted to active form pepsin by the help of HCl.
