    Gastrin is produced by g cells
    It is innervates by vagus nerve which is parasympathetic.
    It is a hormone.
    Pepsinogen breaks down proteins.
    Gastrin stimulates ecl cells and parietal cells whose products activate Pepsinogen which breaks down proteins.

    The answer should be obvious now.
