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).
The enzyme that splits lactose into glucose and galactose is called lactase, and it is located on the surface of the cells that line the small intestine. Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase that prevents the splitting of lactose (lactase deficiency).
