| 1. | Pepsin's gastric juice, pepsinogen activates to become pepsin.
|
| 2. | Pepsin cleaves the 44 amino acids from pepsinogen to create more pepsin.
|
| 3. | Pepsin in its secreted form is inactive ( pepsinogen ).
|
| 4. | Gastric juice in the stomach also contains pepsinogen.
|
| 5. | In the stomach, chief cells release pepsinogen.
|
| 6. | Enzymes like pepsin are created in the form of pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen.
|
| 7. | Another partially activated pepsinogen completes the activation by removing the peptide, turning the pepsinogen into pepsin.
|
| 8. | Another partially activated pepsinogen completes the activation by removing the peptide, turning the pepsinogen into pepsin.
|
| 9. | The low pH also activates the enzyme precursor pepsinogen into the active enzyme pepsin by self-cleavage.
|
| 10. | Pepsinogen is activated when chief cells release it into the gastric acid, whose hydrochloric acid partially activates it.
