The stomach produces pepsin, mucus, HCl and intrinsic factor (which helps absorb B12). This is called gastric juice. Pepsin is a protease, or an enzyme that breaks chemical bonds in protein.
Pepsin uses the carboxylic acid group on one of its amino acids to break the chemical bond between nitrogen and oxygen in the proteins found in food.
