Protein is a biomolecule made up of functional units known as amino acids.
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.

it breaks down the lactose protein.

It's not rennin... christ. Lactase is needed to digest the Lactose, Protease is needed to digest the casein and whey protein and Lipase is needed to digest the fats (lipids) in the milk.

Enzymes are proteins.
-ase is a common suffix used to name various enzymes. So, as an example, a nuclease is an enzyme that cleaves nucleic acids and a telomerase is an enzyme that extends the telomeres. Both produce different outcomes yet both end with -ase.
Lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose. It would probably not catalyze the breakdown of starch because enzymes are SPECIFIC and are typically named for the substrate that it acts on. Amylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch. (Named so because in plants, starch is stored in the amyloplasts)
