products description :
MyBioSource is the leading producer and supplier of Human Pepsinogen II/C antigen as a stomach gastric cancer marker for medical research, clinical and diagnostic manufacturing. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Human Pepsinogens are aspartic proteases produced in the gastric mucosa and secreted into the gastric lumen that play a major role in the digestion of porteins after activation of acidic pH. Pepsinogen is synthesized as isoymogens and are classified into two groups, I and II.
ncbi summary :
This gene encodes an aspartic proteinase that belongs to the peptidase family A1. The encoded protein is a digestive enzyme that is produced in the stomach and constitutes a major component of the gastric mucosa. This protein is also secreted into the serum. This protein is synthesized as an inactive zymogen that includes a highly basic prosegment. This enzyme is converted into its active mature form at low pH by sequential cleavage of the prosegment that is carried out by the enzyme itself. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to gastric cancers. Serum levels of this enzyme are used as a biomarker for certain gastric diseases including Helicobacter pylori related gastritis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
