Lipases represent a critical class of enzymes that functions in the breakdown of triacylglycerides. Produced by the pancreas, lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis of triacylglyercols at their 1 and 3 carbons, resulting the in the production of 2-monoacylglycerols and free fatty acids. Modeled here is horse pancreatic lipase. | Lipases represent a critical class of enzymes that functions in the breakdown of triacylglycerides.
