Pepsin enzyme (pepsin enzyme) is one of the digestive enzymes produced by the stomach as it has an important role in the digestion process by digesting the protein in the food, and is stored as an inactive substance called pepsinogen, which is converted when needed to Its body is pepsin. In general, enzymes are specialized proteins produced by the cells to stimulate and stimulate the various chemical reactions that occur in the body, and these enzymes either inside the cell (Intracellular), that they work within the cell, or may be extracellular They work outside of the cell such as digestive enzymes, including the pepsin enzyme. Each enzyme is assigned to a particular substance and its link to it is only based on the structure of its active surface. Each enzyme has a degrading substance that is only correlated and broken.
Pepsin is the first enzyme discovered, discovered by the world Theodor Schwann. It is called pepsin (pepsin) from pepsis, which means digestion.
The cells in the stomach produce about 3 liters of infectious juices to digest food daily. This infectious juice contains certain substances and many enzymes, including pepsin. The pepsin enzyme binds and breaks proteins and converts them into smaller units And are peptones (peptones), and then the intestine secrete enzymes to complement the process of protein digestion. It is the grace of God that the enzyme pepsin (pepsin) secreted in the form of an enzyme is not effective from the stomach and the pepsinogen (pepsinogen) as mentioned earlier, and once it reaches the stomach cavity is converted to the active state is Pepsin by hydrochloric acid (HCl) Where the digestion and cracking of proteins, because if the secretion of the cells on the body is active it will digest and break down the cells of the stomach produced by which is made up of proteins in the original and thus will digest the stomach itself.
