What is Anti Pepsinogen

1 answer

Anti-pepsinogen refers to antibodies or substances that inhibit the production or activity of the enzyme pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is an inactive precursor of the enzyme pepsin, which is responsible for the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Anti-pepsinogen can be naturally produced by the body's immune system in response to certain conditions or they can be artificially created for experimental or therapeutic purposes. These substances can help regulate or block the activity of pepsinogen, which may be beneficial in certain medical conditions such as gastric ulcers or acid reflux.
