Lipase is a single-stranded enzyme that is responsible for breaking down the majority of the dietary lipids (triglycerides, fats, oils) digested by most living organisms. Lipases are located in the digestive juices and general digestive regions of an organism. They are also used in industry as yogurt and cheese fermentation vehicles, as well as more modern applications such as converting vegetable oil to usable fuel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipase]. | Lipase is a single-stranded enzyme that is responsible for breaking down the majority of the dietary lipids (triglycerides, fats, oils) digested by most living organisms.
