Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme naturally present in the stomach and plays a key role in initiating protein digestion by cleaving peptide bonds under acidic conditions.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, pepsin is widely used in digestive enzyme formulations, protein hydrolysis processes, and analytical or diagnostic applications.
