<StructureSection load='1hpl' size='500' side='right' caption='Structure of Horse Pancreatic Lipase (PDB entry [[1hpl]])' scene=''>A subclass of esterases, lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis and formation of lipids. While produced in the pancreas, it is also present in the stomach and mouth. Due to its effective ester bond hydrolysis of lipids, lipase is essential for fat digestion, breaking lipids into monoglycerides and single fatty acids. | <StructureSection load='1hpl' size='500' side='right' caption='Structure of Horse Pancreatic Lipase (PDB entry [[1hpl]])' scene=''>A subclass of esterases, lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis and formation of lipids.

The quaternary structure of horse pancreatic lipase (as featured right) contains two molecules which each contain 449 amino acid residues, 705 water molecules, and 2 calcium ions. These two identical molecules are connected by a two-fold symmetry axis. | The quaternary structure of horse pancreatic lipase (as featured right) contains two molecules which each contain 449 amino acid residues, 705 water molecules, and 2 calcium ions.
