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.

Is the structure of pancreatic lipase the same as gastric lipase?

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.
