“…It has been demonstrated that gastric lipase is activated in the acid medium of the stomach, and it remains active at pH 2 until pancreatic bicarbonate is secreted [29]. Optimal functioning of gastric lipase is an essential step for lipolysis and the resulting products from gastric lipase (such as monoglycerides, diglycerides and fatty acids) [20] stimulate CCK release and pancreatic lipase-colipase activation [30].…”

“…In addition to the gel-forming mucins MUC5AC and MUC6 as well as a variety of ions (e.g., H (73), cathelicidin LL-37/hCAP18 (74), lysozyme (19), and the extremophilic gastric lipase (75), which binds optimally to lipid-water interphases at low pH. On top, the luminal surface of the gastric mucus seems to be coated with a hydrophobic film of surfactant phospholipids (1,76,77).…”

“…To catalyze such interfacial reaction, lipases undergoe a conformational change consisting in the opening of an amphiphilic lid that gives access to the active site while it generates a large hydrophobic surface surrounding the catalytic cleft and part of the interfacial recognition site (IRS) [3][4][5][6]. HGL has been called "extremophilic" as it is stable and active in the acid environment of the stomach, it is resistant to pepsin hydrolysis and it is not inhibited by the bile salts present in the gastro-intestinal tract [7]. Its optimum activity at acidic pH (4-5.4) on natural long chain TG emulsions [8] is unique among lipases and is explained by a better adsorption at the lipid/water interface at low pH [9,10] while, above neutral pH, [11] the enzyme remains in the water phase and is poorly stable [12].…”
