Lipase is a hydrolase that catalyzes the breakdown of lipids by hydrolyzing the esters of fatty acids. Lipases are important in digestion, promoting absorption of fats in the intestines. Lipase is primarily found in the pancreas but is also found in the mouth and the stomach. Pancreatic lipase which is pictured below catalyzes the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols at the 1 and 3 positions to from 1,2-diacylglycerols and 2-acylglycerols. Pancreatic liapase consists of two identical chains, totaling 449 residues.
