Is the structure of pancreatic lipase the same as gastrin (produced in the stomach) lipase?

Both pancreatic lipase and gastric lipase have the same function; in that both enzymes are used in the hydrolysis of triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. However, these two enzymes have different structures; this is because each of these two enzymes deal with different pH levels, and they are substrate specific.
