Answer:

A lipase is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats. Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. Lipases perform essential roles in digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids in most, if not all, living organisms. Genes encoding lipases are even present in certain viruses.

  • Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats. Esterases include lipases as a subclass.
  • In most, if not all, living species, lipases play an important role in the digestion, transport, and processing of dietary lipids (e.g., triglycerides, fats, oils). Lipase genes have been found in viruses.
  • Most lipases (A1, A2, or A3) function at a particular point on a lipid substrate's glycerol backbone (A1, A2, or A3) (small intestine).
  • Human pancreatic lipase (HPL), for example, transforms triglyceride substrates present in ingested oils to monoglycerides and two fatty acids, making it the principal enzyme that breaks down dietary fats in the human digestive tract.
