Descriptor pepsinógenos
Entry term(s) pepsinógeno B
Scope note: Proenzimas secretadas por las células principales, células mucosas del cuello y células de las glándulas pilóricas, que se transforman en pepsina en presencia de ácido clorhídrico o de la propia pepsina. (Dorland, 28th ed) En el ser humano hay dos sistemas de pepsinógeno relacionados: el PEPSINÓGENO A (antiguamente denominado pepsinógeno I o pepsinógeno) y el PEPSINÓGENO C (antiguamente denominado pepsinógeno II o progastricsina). El pepsinógeno B es el nombre del pepsinógeno de los cerdos.

Scope note: Proenzymes secreted by chief cells, mucous neck cells, and pyloric gland cells, which are converted into pepsin in the presence of gastric acid or pepsin itself. (Dorland, 28th ed) In humans there are 2 related pepsinogen systems: PEPSINOGEN A (formerly pepsinogen I or pepsinogen) and PEPSINOGEN C (formerly pepsinogen II or progastricsin). Pepsinogen B is the name of a pepsinogen from pigs.
