Secreted lipase that is able to hydrolyze both the neutral triacylglycerols and the monopalmitate ester Tween 40, allowing the use of hydrolyzed products as carbon sources. Has broad lipolytic activity, which may be important for colonization and subsequent infection, therefore contributing to the persistence and virulence in human tissue (Probable). My be important for alimentary tract colonization, but not oral infection. Facilitates invasive disease via lipid-based suppression of the IL-17 response. Inhibits IL-17 production indirectly by suppressing IL-23 production by tissue-resident dendritic cells
