Lipase, which is produced primarily in the pancreas, functions as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipid substrates. This makes lipases an essential molecule for fat digestion. | Lipase, which is produced primarily in the pancreas, functions as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipid substrates.
