pepsin convert polypeptideds into di-peptides(peptones + proteoses)
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme secreted by the chief cells in the stomach in its inactive form called as pepsinogen.It gets activated to pepsin in the presence of HCl. Proteins are converted into peptides by the action of pepsin.
It is the active form of pepsinogen that digests protien.
