<P> A gastric chief cell ( or peptic cell , or gastric zymogenic cell ) is a type of cell in the stomach that releases pepsinogen and gastric lipase and is the cell responsible for secretion of chymosin in ruminants . The cell stains basophilic upon H&E staining due to the large proportion of rough endoplasmic reticulum in its cytoplasm . Gastric chief cells are generally located deep in the mucosal layer of the stomach lining . </P>
