Background Information

Pepsinogen II also known as progastricsin or PGC(pepsinogen C), is an aspartic protease expressed primarily in gastric chief cells and is a novel marker of type 2 cells with advantages over many of the current markers used to identify type 2 cells in the developing lung(PMID:14578117). It is involved in proteolysis and peptidolysis. This protein has 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
