Option 2 : Stomach

Pepsin is produced by the cells that are present in the stomach's lining
It is a very important enzyme as it breaks down the complex proteins found in daily food into smaller peptides
It is known as a protease enzyme because it works only on proteins in the body
Pepsin works best in acidic conditions which is why the stomach also produces acid to help it breakdown proteins
