Lipases (EC 3.1.1.3.) are triacylglycerol acylhydrolases and catalyze the hydrolysis of the ester bond of tri-, di-, and monoglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. Most of the triacylglycerol (TAG) lipases possess GXSXG motif, with serine serving as the nucleophile in the active site of lipases,...
