All are true about Ebner glands, EXCEPT:
Ebner's Gland or Von Ebner Glands are exocrine glands located on the dorsal surface of tongue and are responsible for the secretion of lingual lipase. Lingual lipase is a acid stable lipase. Lingual lipase uses a catalytic triad consisting of Aspaatic Acid, Histidine, and Serine, to initiate the hydrolysis of a triglyceride into a diacyglyceride and a free fatty acid.
