Pancreatic lipase initiates the breakdown of triacylglycerols into 2-monoacylglycerols and fatty acids.  The digestion of triacylglycerols is a major source of energy storage in metabolism. Consequently, lipase hydrolyzes the ester bonds of the triglycerides.  Lipase, as a digestive enzyme, is soluble in water but the triacylglycerides it hydrolyzes are not.  Bile salts surround the fatty acid globules to make them more soluble.  Lipase activity requires bile acids, its coenzyme, and calcium ions to acheive the correct orientation to hydrolyze the fats <ref>Fundamentals of Biochemistry...</ref>

In addition to the effects of bile salts, Lipase is activated by the coenzyme colipase, which binds to the C-terminal non-catalytic domain.  Upon binding, active lipase is stabilized for the hydrophobic interaction with the triacylglycerides <ref>Fundamentals of Biochemistry...</ref>.  Colipase must be present for activation of lipase.  Lipase activation at the lipid-water interface of triacylglycerides, in the presence of colipase and bile salts, is known as interfacial activation. Colipase is also secreted in the pancreas, but in its inactive form, which must be activated by trypsin before interacting with lipase <ref>"Colipase".
