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).
Digestive enzymes are small proteins that act on specific molecules within foods to break them down. Most people are familiar with the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down the milk sugar called lactose. People who are missing this enzyme are not able to digest milk (known as âlactose-intoleranceâ).
