Abstract
The purpose of the present work is to discuss some properties of two pancreatic proteins, lipase and colipase, involved in the intraduodenal digestion of dietary fat. Lipase has been known for a number of years to catalyse with other digestive enzymes the conversion of triglycerides into 2-monoglycerides and free fatty acids. The more recently discovered colipase enables lipase to act on triglycerides in the presence of bile salts and other amphipaths, and it prevents its early denaturation at strongly hydrophobic interfaces.
