Answer:

Pepsinogen is a powerful and abundant protein digestive enzyme secreted by the gastric chief cells as a proenzyme and then converted by gastric acid in the gastric lumen to the active enzyme pepsin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The role of pepsin and its precursor in protein digestion was first described in the 19th century.
