pep·sin·o·gen P0179600 (pĕp-sĭn′ə-jən)n. The inactive precursor to pepsin, formed in cells of the mucous membrane of the stomach and converted to pepsin by autocatalysis in the presence of hydrochloric acid.pepsinogen (pɛpˈsɪnədʒən) n (Biochemistry) the inactive precursor of pepsin produced by the stomachpep•sin•o•gen (pɛpˈsɪn ə dʒən, -ˌdʒɛn) n. a crystalline proenzyme of the gastric glands, converted to pepsin during digestion.

pepsinogen[pep′sin·ə·jən] (biochemistry) The precursor of pepsin, found in the stomach mucosa. pepsinogen
pepsinogen [pep-sin´o-jen] a zymogen secreted by the chief cells of the gastric glands and converted into pepsin in the presence of gastric acid or of pepsin itself.pep·sin·o·gen (pep-sin'ō-jen), [MIM*169700] A proenzyme or zymogen formed and secreted by the chief cells of the gastric mucosa; the acidity of the gastric juice and pepsin itself remove 44 amino acyl residues from pepsinogen to form active pepsin. Synonym(s): propepsin [pepsin + G. -gen, producing] pepsinogen (pĕp-sĭn′ə-jən)n. The inactive precursor to pepsin, formed in cells of the mucous membrane of the stomach and converted to pepsin by autocatalysis in the presence of hydrochloric acid.pep·sin·o·gen (pep-sin'ŏ-jen) A proenzyme formed and secreted by the chief cells of the gastric mucosa; the acidity of the gastric juice and pepsin itself remove 42 amino acid residues from pepsinogen to form active pepsin. Synonym(s): propepsin. [pepsin + G. -gen, producing]pepsinogen A biochemically inert substance produced by the cells of the stomach lining (gastric mucosa) that is converted to PEPSIN by the action of hydrochloric acid.pepsinogen a precursor of PEPSIN in the vertebrate stomach which, in the presence of hydrochloric acid (also secreted by the OXYNTIC CELLS in the stomach wall), gives rise to more active pepsin, which itself activates pepsinogen. The reaction is thus auto catalytic.AcronymsSeepregnantpepsinogen Related to pepsinogen: trypsinogenWords related to pepsinogennoun precursor of pepsinRelated Words |
