ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

Detailed explanation-2: -Types of Digestive Enzymes Lipase (made in the pancreas; breaks down fats) Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipases hydrolyze triglycerides (fats) into their component fatty acid and glycerol molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -monacylglycerol + H2O → fatty acid + glycerol. Lipases are serine hydrolases, i.e. they function by transesterification generating an acyl serine intermediate. Most lipases act at a specific position on the glycerol backbone of a lipid substrate (A1, A2 or A3).

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipase. This enzyme works together with bile, which your liver produces, to break down fat in your diet. If you don’t have enough lipase, your body will have trouble absorbing fat and the important fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Symptoms of poor fat absorption include diarrhea and fatty bowel movements.
