The gastric mucosa secretes the inactive enzyme pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid (HCl). In the presence of HCl, the active enzyme pepsin is produced. Pepsin digests proteins into shorter polypeptides. The high concentration of HCl from the parietal cells makes gastric juice very acidic, with a pH of less than 2.he gastric mucosa secretes the inactive enzyme pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
