Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) can contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Pepsin is believed to be one of the causes of CRS. Pepsin can be a promising biomarker because it is only produced by gastric parietal cells, so it can explain the correlation of CRS with LPR.

Anti-pepsin activity of silicon dioxide nanoparticles [PDF]
SiO2NPs as an inhibitor of pepsin enzyme for treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) was used. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (pepsin coated SiO2NPs) are among the safest nanoparticles that can be used inside the human body.

Kinetics of pepsin-induced hydrolysis and the coagulation of milk proteins
: Hydrolysis-induced coagulation of casein micelles by pepsin occurs during the digestion of milk. In this study, the effect of pH (6.7–5.3) and pepsin concentration (0.110–2.75 U/mL) on the hydrolysis of κ-casein and the coagulation of the casein ...

Combined laryngopharyngeal reflux and obstructive sleep apnea (CLOSA) – Salivary pepsin test for laryngopharyngeal reflux in obstructive sleep apnea patients [PDF]
Objectives: Reflux disease including gastroesophageal reflux and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is often found in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Endoscopic examination is a gold standard diagnosis for reflux disease.

A review on the immobilization of pepsin: A Lys-poor enzyme that is unstable at alkaline pH values.
Pepsin is a protease used in many different applications, and in many instances, it is utilized in an immobilized form to prevent contamination of the reaction product. This enzyme has two peculiarities that make its immobilization complex. The first one

Effects of pepsin and pepstatin on reflux tonsil hypertrophy in vitro. [PDF]
There is evidence that pepsin can aggravate tonsil hypertrophy. Pepstatin is a potent inhibitor of pepsin activity and could protect patients against reflux tonsil hypertrophy by inhibiting pepsin.

Separation of pepsin I, pepsin II A, pepsin II B, and pepsin III from human gastric mucosa [PDF]
Extracts of human gastric mucosa have been fractionated on diethylaminoethyl cellulose to yield three precursors of proteolytic enzymes active at low pH which have been called pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, and pepsinogen III. Pepsinogen I has been found in the mucosa from all parts of the stomach examined as well as in the proximal duodenum. Pepsinogen

Pepsin D. A minor component of commercial pepsin preparations [PDF]
Methods are described for the isolation and purification of pepsin D, an enzyme which accounts for about 10% of the enzymic activity in commercial preparations of pepsin. Pepsin D is similar to pepsin in having a molecular weight of about 35000, the same C-terminal amino acid sequence, and an N-terminal isoleucine residue.
