What is the main purpose of a sucrase?
Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
What is sucrase secreted from?
Sucrase is a family of enzymes. Some of it is secreted from the salivary glands in the mouth but most of the sucrase activity is in the small intestines. In the intestines it is not secreted, but rather, contained in the wall.
Where does sucrase work in the body?
Stomach
If lactase breaks down lactose and galactose then the enzyme sucrase breaks down?
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
Where is the sucrase most active?
First part of the small intestine
What is the optimal pH of sucrase?
The optimum pH for sucrase is 2.0

Where is sucrase secreted?
Sucrase is synthesized in the small intestine by the brush border, and secreted by the tips of the villi epithelium, particularly in the duodenum
