Pepsin from gastric mucosa of pigs

Pepsin is produced by the gastric glands and released as an inactive precursor to pepsinogen, which is activated by the acidic environment of the stomach and converted into pepsin. Pepsin plays a key role in the digestive process, especially in proteolysis, by cleaving peptide bonds between specific amino acids in the protein chain, it can break down larger protein molecules into peptide fragments of different lengths, and then the small peptides enter the small intestine and are absorbed.

This product is used in functional food formulations or nutraceutical formulations to promote protein digestion.
