Everything about Gastric Chief Cell totally explained
A
gastric chief cell (or
peptic cell, or
gastric zymogenic cell) is a cell in the
stomach that releases
pepsinogen, gastric lipase and
rennin. The cell stains basophilic upon
H&E prep due to the large proportion of rough
endoplasmic reticulum in its
cytoplasm.
It works in conjunction with the
parietal cell which releases
gastric acid, converting the pepsinogen into
pepsin.
Nomenclature
The terms "chief cell" and "
zymogenic cell" are often used without the word "gastric" to name this type of cell. However those terms can also be used to describe other cell types (for example,
parathyroid chief cells.)
