To reveal their active site hydrolysis alters the configuration of the zymogen or cleaves off the inhibiting peptide unit. These granules are found in secretory cells called zymogen cells. Zymogen is derived from the Greek zyme which means ferment and genein that means to produce. The term granules comes the Latin granulum or the little grains. Examples of zymogens are angiotensinogen, caspases, chymotrypsinogen, pacifastin, procarboxypolypeptidase, proelastase, prolipase, trypsinogen, and pepsinogen.
