Lactase is a digestive enzyme that is produced by the small intestine.
The prime function of lactase is to digest a sugar compound called lactose.
Yap, lactase is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide lactose yielding an end-product of glucose and galactose. It is important in digestion because the action of lactase yields glucose which is the primary sugar in the blood.
