Descriptor English: Chief Cells, Gastric
Descriptor Spanish: Células Principales Gástricas
Descriptor células principales gástricas
Entry term(s) células gástricas principales
Scope note: Células epiteliales que recubren la mitad basal de las GLÁNDULAS GÁSTRICAS. Las células principales sintetizan y exportan el PEPSINÓGENO, una enzima inactiva, que se convierte en PEPSINA, una enzima proteolítica potente, al contacto con el medio ácido del ESTOMAGO.
