- A 'lipase' is a water-soluble enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester chemical bonds in water-insoluble lipid substrates. Lipases thus comprises a subclass of the esterases.
- (lipases) Enzymes secreted by the pancreas that are active in the digestion of fats.
- (lipases) Enzymes which break down lipids into their component fatty acid and "head group" moieties. The lipases used in biotechnology are almost invariably digestive lipases, meant to break down the fats in food. ...
- Lipase is an enzyme produced in the body to break down fats for ease of absorption in the intestines. Lipase obtained from goats, fungi or bacteria, is commonly added during cheese processing to develop flavor as a result of fat breakdown.
- An enzyme originating in the pancreas which helps to digest fats. Measuring blood levels of lipase will help screen for disease of the pancreas.
- A fat-splitting enzyme added to some varieties of cheese to produce a sharp or piquant flavor. Lipase may be of calf, kid or lamb origin. Lipase is used in cheeses such as Feta, Blue, Romano and Provolone.
- Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fat in breastmilk. In rare instances it may be in higher quantities in certain women's breastmilk and may cause breastmilk to become rancid when frozen.
- An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides to yield glycerol and fatty acids.
