Answers
Answer: pepsin it is the active form of pepsinogen present in gastric glands of stomach , inactive pepsinogen is converted to active pepsin by the help of HCl . pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones ( peptides ) , ( HCl provides acidic pH optimal to pepsins )
Pepsin is a enzym that digest proteins. It is found in stomatch. HCl produced marks acidic medium for pepsin to act and digest proteins from the food. Pepsin is often used as a replacement enzyme for those with pancreatic insufficiency. Stimulation of the pancreas and therefore enzymatic digestion of food is a tightly controlled and is a hormonally mediated process. Any changes or conditions affecting metabolic steps for successful digestion and absorption negatively affect pancreatic enzymatic secretion, entry into the intestine, functionality once inside the intestine, and appropriate mixing with foods/nutrients. Many causes of pancreatic insufficiency require that enzyme replacement therapy is started, including cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, acute and chronic pancreatitis, as well as pancreatic surgery.
