Lactose is broken down in the body by an enzyme called lactase, which is produced in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down lactose into its two component sugars, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed by the body for energy. If a person is deficient in lactase, they may experience lactose intolerance.

Why is lactase not found in stomach or large intestine?
this is because Lactase activity increase at a pH of 7 and 8 but at a pH of 7, the activity is maximum. At a pH above 7, the activity is decreasing. At a pH of 1 and 2, Lactase is inactive. Therefore, Lactase work best at a pH between 7 and 8.
