Pancreatic Lipase Overview

The primary enzyme responsible for the digestion of dietary fats in the human digestive tract is pancreatic lipase, often referred to simply as pancreatic lipase.
It is synthesized and secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine (specifically the duodenum) to aid in the digestion of dietary lipids.

Mechanism of Action

Pancreatic lipase specifically hydrolyzes (breaks down) dietary triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids.
Triglycerides consist of a glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acid chains; this enzyme typically cleaves the outer ester bonds (at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions), yielding two free fatty acids and a 2-monoglyceride.

Cofactors and Optimal Environment

For optimal activity, pancreatic lipase requires the presence of a protein cofactor called colipase, which is also secreted by the pancreas. Colipase anchors the lipase to the surface of dietary fat droplets.
The process is significantly enhanced by bile salts, which emulsify large fat globules into smaller micelles, increasing the surface area available for the enzyme to work upon.
An alkaline pH (neutral to slightly basic) maintained in the small intestine by bicarbonate secretions is necessary for peak enzymatic efficiency.
