Pancreatic lipase is a water-soluble enzyme secreted by the pancreas. Like other lipases, its function is to break down lipids (fats) in the intestinal tract.
No, the structure of pancreatic lipase is not the same as gastric lipase. While both enzymes are involved in the digestion of fats, they differ in their amino acid sequences, structural conformations, and mechanisms of action. Pancreatic lipase is more efficient in breaking down triglycerides in the small intestine, whereas gastric lipase functions primarily in the stomach. These structural differences reflect their distinct roles and environments in the digestive process.
Lipase does not break down glycerol; instead, it breaks down triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. This enzymatic action primarily occurs in the small intestine, where dietary fats are emulsified by bile and then acted upon by pancreatic lipase. Glycerol, once released from triglycerides, can be absorbed by the intestinal cells and utilized for energy or converted into glucose.
Yes it is. You can easily check it out yourself by using a tributyrine based agar. If Enterobacter aerogenes builds a lipase action enzyme, the surrounding of your colonies will be much clearer. If you have any other questions, I suggest you the Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology.
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids
Lipase is used in the preparation ofdetergents.but,why it is used?
It inhibits pancreatic lipase

Fat breaks into fatty acids and glycerol by the action of lipase in the small intestine.
yes lipase is acidic
site of action is the location (site) where the drug do there action ........ while onset of action is the starting of effects produced due to drug............... both are clearly different..........
