Solution
Pepsinogen:
- Pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen, is secreted by gastric main cells.
- Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells in the stomach lining, lowering the stomach's pH.
- When pepsinogen is exposed to HCl, it is transformed into pepsin (the active enzyme), a proteolytic enzyme.
