Respuesta :

No, the structure of pancreatic lipase is not the same as gastric (produced in the stomach) lipase.

In the field of science, we can describe lipases as enzymes that are actively involved in the breaking of fats.

There are three sites in the human body where lipase enzyme is produced. These sites are serous glands, pancreas and stomach. However, the lipase produced by each of these glands or organs is different because each lipase has to function in a different environment. Hence, they are produced in order of the place where they are to function.

The lipase in the pancreas is in the form of triglyceride. The gastric lipase is produced by the chief cells.
