Lactase is a protein enzyme that digests (breaks down) lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and. galactose (smaller sugars). The chemical equation below illustrates what happens when the. enzyme lactase digests lactose (milk sugar).
Lactose intolerance is a condition that results from a deficit of lactase (lactase deficiency), an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine. Lactase is necessary to digest lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. Lactase breaks down lactose (milk sugar) into two simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream.
