Other Info
| About the antigen | Pepsinogen I belongs to the peptidase A1 family. It shows particularly broad specificity and although bonds involving phenylalanine and leucine are preferred, many others are also cleaved to some extent. The gene endoces a 388 amino acid protein with a 15 amino acid signal peptide and 46 amino acid propeptide. PGA5: Pepsinogen 5, group I (pepsinogen A). Pepsinogens are the inactive precursors of pepsin, the major acid protease found in the stomach. Pepsin is one of the main proteolytic enzymes secreted by the gastric mucosa. Pepsin consists of a single polypeptide chain and arises from its precursor, pepsinogen, by removal of a 41 amino acid segment from the N-terminus. Pepsinogen is synthesized in the stomach lining, and hydrochloric acid, also produced by the gastric mucosa, is necessary to convert the inactive enzyme and to maintain the optimum acidity (pH 1-3) for pepsin function. Pepsin is particularly effective in cleaving peptide bonds involving aromatic amino acids. Pepsin shows extremely broad specificity; although bonds involving phenylalanine and leucine are preferred, many others are also cleaved to some extent. PGA5 is a member of the subfamily A1 within the pepsin family and is the predominant endopeptidase in the gastric juice of vertebrates. PGA5 is inhibited by ovUS-1, a uterine serpin. |
| More Information | Pepsinogen I, the precursors of pepsin, is produced by the gastric mucosa and released into the gastric lumen and peripheral circulation. Pepsinogen consists of a single polypeptide chain of 375 amino acids with an average molecular weight of 42 kD. PG I (isoenzyme 1-5) is secreted mainly by chief cells in the fundic mucosa, whereas PG II (isoenzyme 6-7) is secreted by the pyloric glands and the proximal duodenal mucosa. Precursor reflects numbers of stomach surface cells as well as glandular cells, and monitors gastric atrophy indirectly. They are also extraordinarily stable because they perform their jobs under the harsh conditions present in the digestive system. The atrophy of the corpus mucosa leads to low synthesis of pepsinogen I and hence its low release into the serum. Serum pepsinogen I indicates function and states of gastric mucosa.  |
