Pancreatic lipase is secreted into the duodenum through the duct system of the pancreas. In a healthy individual, it is at very low concentration in serum. Under extreme disruption of pancreatic function, such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, the pancreas may begin to digest itself and release pancreatic enzymes including pancreatic lipase into serum. Measurement of serum concentration of pancreatic lipase can therefore aid in diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.<ref>"Pancreatic lipase". Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia. 7 Nov 2011 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_lipase]</ref>. Due to lipase's activity in the digestion and absorption of fat, there has been a growing market for lipase inhibitors for weight loss pharmaceuticals. The most popular is Orlistat (or Xenical®) which is a natural product from ''Streptomyces toxytricini'' and is the hydrogenation product of lipostation- an irreversible lipase inhibitor. This inhibitor also acts by binding Ser152, producing an ester which hydrolyzes so slow that it is practically irreversible <ref>Kordik, C., Reitz, A. "Pharmacological Treatment of Obesity: Therapeutic Strategies" Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1999 (42).</ref>. | Pancreatic lipase is secreted into the duodenum through the duct system of the pancreas.
