Normal pH of gastric juice is about 2. Thus it is an acid pH. It is essential for the gastric pH to be kept acidic for activation of the pepsinogen, a proenzyme excreted by the gastric chief cells, into pepsin, digestive enzyme which acts under low pH. This pH level is achieved through the secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) by parietal cells.
