Pepsin digests protein in the highly acidic environment of the stomach.
pepsin acts in acidic medium which breaks down proteins into peptones.
Pepsin in the stomach
Make the conditions of the stomach alkaline so that the pH is not conducive to the functioning of pepsin
an enzyme found in the stomach is PEPSIN
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.

pepsin
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
Breaks down the proteins into peptide chains
Pepsin is secreted as pepsinogen. Pepsinogen cannot eat the walls of the stomach. Now, pepsin is formed when pepsinogen binds to the hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. Once they are binded pepsin is formed. The second reason on why the stomach doesn't eat it's self is because of the alkaline mucus that suround the walls of the stomach.
That is a proteolytic enzyme. Name of the enzyme is pepsin. It is secreted as inactive pepsinogen, which become active when it comes in contact with the hydrochloric acid, in the stomach.
When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.
