Protein Function
Pepsin is one of three proteolytic, or protein degrading enzymes in the digestive system. It resides in the alimentary canal and is produced by mucosal cells <ref>. Pepsin degrades peptides, and is optimally active at low pHs <ref>. Pepsin is an aspartic proteinase, more specifically a eukaryotic aspartic protease enzyme (3). Aspartic proteinases are widespread in nature, and pepsin in particular has been known to be medically important (2).
