Pepsin] is the main digestive enzyme in gastric juice, which is synthesized by amino acids in the main cell of gastric gland. When
digesting food, pepsin is discharged into the stomach cavity to participate in digestion. When digestion activity stops, pepsin is
synthesized again to supplement consumption, so that pepsin can always have sufficient grain reserves. Pepsin is the "main force"
of digesting food. However, what is initially excreted from the main cell is not pepsin, but Pepsinogen, its precursor. If pepsin
is a knife, pepsinogen is like a knife with a "scabbard" on it. It has no digestive function. However, once you meet your "old
partner" - gastric acid and a little pepsin, it will be like a knife coming out of its scabbard and immediately become a pepsin
chemical book with digestive function and a "new force" for digesting food, "Murderous" to digest all kinds of protein in
food,hydrolysis of protein molecules in all peptide bond connection points, protein has become a simple structure of components,
these relatively simple components, it is easy to be thoroughly digested in the small intestine. Pepsin and gastric acid are
typical "iron brothers", they are the products of gastric mucosal glands, although the subtle parts are different; Pepsinogen is
activated by gastric acid; Pepsin is the most labor-saving protein processed by gastric acid; Gastric acid provides the most
suitable working environment for pepsin; The content of pepsin is the "mirror" of the level of gastric acid. It is difficult to
separate the two. One is deficient, the other is often insufficient, and vice versa.
Function
1. Pepsin can be used as a digestive drug. Commonly used due to excessive consumption of protein foods caused by
indigestion,recovery of the disease after the digestive function and chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric cancer, pernicious
leukemia caused by pepsin deficiency and other symptoms.
2. Pepsin enzyme preparation. Mainly used for the manufacture of fishmeal and other proteins (such as soy protein)
hydrolysis,cheese in the manufacture of curd effect (in combination with the bilirubin), can also be used to prevent beer frozen
and turbid.
3. For biochemical research, protein structure analysis, medicine used as digestive enzymes.
4. To help digestive drugs, for the lack of pepsin or digestive dysfunction after the disease caused by indigestion.
5. In addition, in the manufacture of milk cool when used as a substitute for dry stomach.
