Mucus degradation by pepsin: comparison of mucolytic activity of human pepsin 1 and pepsin 3: implications in peptic ulceration.
The ability to digest mucus, mucolytic activity of isolated pepsins and samples of human gastric juice has been assayed by measuring the fall in viscosity when incubated with purified pig gastric mucus glycoprotein. Pure human pepsin 1, the peptic ulcer associated pepsin, digested gastric mucus glycoprotein at a faster rate than did pure human pepsin 3 (the principal human pepsin), or the equiv...
متن کاملPepsin 1 secretion in chronic peptic ulceration.
In patients with peptic ulceration, both vagal stimulation by insulin hypoglycaemia and stimulation by pentagastrin cause pepsin 1 to be secreted into gastric juice. There is a secretory threshold for pepsin 1, below which only pepsins 3 and 5 are secreted. Pepsin 1 accounts for an increasing proportion of the total peptic activity/ml of gastric juice as the total activity increases. Higher con...
متن کاملCigarette smoking, chronic peptic ulceration, and pepsin 1 secretion.
The relationship between the secretion of pepsin 1 (the most electronegative of the pepsins), and the smoking habits of 219 patients has been investigated. Significantly more cigarette smokers with peptic ulceration (72.5%) secreted pepsin 1 in greater than trace amounts after pentagastrin or histamine than did non-smokers with ulceration (51.2%). Differences of a similar order were found for m...
متن کاملCrystalline Pepsin Iii. Preparation of Active Crystalline Pepsin from Inactive Denatured Pepsin By
The results (1) of the experiments with crystalline pepsin isolated from crude pepsin preparations indicated that the material is a pure substance and that the proteolytic activity is a property of the protein molecule itself and is not due to the presence of a separate non-protein impurity. No indication of the presence of a more highly active nonprotein molecule was obtained in the solubility...
متن کاملTransformation of Swine Pepsinogen into Swine Pepsin by Chicken Pepsin
Activation of swine pepsinogen with chicken pepsin results in the formation of swine pepsin. Activation of chicken pepsinogen with swine pepsin results in the formation of chicken pepsin. The structure responsible for the species specificity of the enzyme is therefore present in the inactive precursor.
