A <scene name='Lipase/Lipase_starting_scene/2'>Lipase</scene> is a subclass of esterases which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipid substrates and is essential for fat digestion. It is primarily produced in the pancreas, but can be found in the mouth and stomach as well. The lipase typically digests fat lipids into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, with the resulting monomers subsequently shuttled to the small intestine and eventually absorbed into the lymphatic system.
