Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, primarily found in the stomach. It is produced from the gastric juice of pigs and is widely used in various pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications. Pepsin operates optimally in acidic environments, making it effective in simulating gastric digestion processes in laboratory settings.
