Introduction

Human gastric lipase (HGL, E.C. 3.1.1.3) (PBD ID: 1hlg) is a type of hydrolase (an enzyme class that includes lipase) that is responsible for initiating the digestion of dietary fats in the stomach ^[1]. This enzyme is secreted by the fundic chief cells of the human stomach and catalyzes 10-20% of total lipolytic processes (i.e., those involving fat breakdown) in healthy adults ^[1]. HGL specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol in order to produce diacylglycerol and a carboxylate byproduct ^[2], a process through which subsequent hydrolysis performed by pancreatic lipase is facilitated ^[3].

Structural highlights

HGL, a 379 amino acid residue-long lipase enzyme, possesses a catalytic arm consisting of residues Ser-153, His-353, and Asp-324 ^[2].
