释义	pepsin /ˈpɛpsɪn / noun [mass noun] Biochemistry The chief digestive enzyme in the stomach, which breaks down proteins into polypeptides.Proteins in the stomach are broken down to polypeptides by the enzyme pepsin, which works best in acidic environments and is produced by ‘chief’, or ‘zymogen’, cells in the gastric mucosa....
