The pancreas secretes zymogens partly to prevent the enzymes from digesting proteins in the cells in which they are synthesised. Enzymes like pepsin are created in the form of pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen. ... Fungi also secrete digestive enzymes into the environment as zymogens.

hi mate,
==>we know that of these 5 components, pepsin is the principal enzyme involved in digestion of protein.
==>However, pepsin is released in its inactive form, or zymogen form, known as pepsinogen. By secreting pepsin in its inactive form, the stomach prevents digestion of protective proteins in the lining of the digestive tract.
i hope it helps you.
