From Wikipedia
Lipases are a type of enzyme that break down fats. More specifically, lipases use water (as hydrolases) to remove fatty acids from fat molecules, especially triglycerides or its derivatives. In humans and other animals, lipases have a variety of roles in the body, from helping digest dietary fats like pancreatic lipase, to synthesizing fat-based hormones like diglyceride lipases. What counts as a lipase is not consistently defined across sources, and some only consider enzymes to be lipases if they are activated by oil-water interfaces. Many specific lipases can also catalyze other reactions. For example, carboxyl ester lipase is able to remove fatty acids that are attached to cholesterol, while endothelial lipase can remove fatty acids from phospholipids (a major component of cell membranes).
