Human PGA4/Pepsinogen A Recombinant Protein

PGA4 (Pepsinogen 4; group I); or Pepsinogen A; is a member of the peptidase A1 family. Pepsin is expressed as a pro-form zymogen; pepsinogen; whose primary structure has an additional 44 amino acids. Pepsin is stored as pepsinogen so it will only be released when needed; and does not digest the body's own proteins in the stomach's lining. Five types of zymogens of pepsins; gastric digestive proteinases; are known: pepsinogens A; B; and F; progastricsin; and prochymosin. There are two major groups of pepsinogen; namely pepsinogen A (PGA) and pepsinogen C (PGC) (or progastricsin); and each frequently has isozymogens. The PGA3; PGA4 and PGA5 genes encode identical human pepsinogen A enzymes.
