Pepsinâs main function is to break down proteins that are found in protein rich foods such as meat, eggs etc. It breaks them into smaller pieces called polypeptides. Interesting thing about pepsin is that it breaks proteins only at certain points so that the protein is not digested completely to the amino acid level.epsinogen is a pro-form zymogen of pepsin. It is released in the stomach by its chief cells. This zymogen is activated by hydrochloric acid released from parietal cells in the stomach linings.
Pepsin is the chief digestive enzyme in the stomach that breaks down proteins. We see that chief cells produce pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin). Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin when the parietal cells found within the gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid.ucus that is produced by the epithelial cells of the stomach help protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive hydrochloric acid and pepsin. If this protective lining fails, it can result in a peptic ulcer, which is a lesion of the mucosa.
