Lipase

PDB ID: 1HPL

E.C.: 3.1.1.3

Number of Amino Acid Residues: 449

Number of Chains: 2

Introduction

The lipase class of enzymes are known to cut a lipid substrate at a specific location on their glycerol backbone. Pancreatic lipase, in particular, works to break down fats from the human diet. This lipase, therefore, is found in the digestive system of humans and is involved in the conversion of triglycerides to glycerides.
