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).
Like other enzymes, it is needed for a specific biochemical reaction in the body. The biochemical reaction that involves lactase breaks down lactose, a sugar in milk and milk products. Some peopleâs bodies do not make enough lactase, so they are not able to digest milk well.
