Gastric lipase and PLRP2 trigger the activity of pancreatic lipase on various emulsions stabilized by phospholipids or galactolipids

Abstract: . These findings show that the PL activity is not intrinsically limited by polar lipids at the interface, but dynamically regulated by prior interfacial conditioning. A mechanistic basis for the synergistic and sequential action of lipases is proposed, involving either a direct action of GL on TAG through its penetration of the interfacial layer or the digestion of DGDG or PC by PLRP2, both resulting in the production of FFAs facilitating PL-colipase adsorption. Early lipolysis events thus emerge as key determinants of lipid digestion.
