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).
If lactase is produced, the lactose in milk is digested into glucose and galactose in the small intestine. If lactase is not produced, undigested lactose goes from the small intestine to the large intestine, where it is digested by bacteria through fermentation.nfant mammals produce the enzyme lactase in their small intestines. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. These two simpler sugars, or monosaccharides, are easily absorbed through the small intestine and into the bloodstream.
