Lactase is an enzyme that converts the disaccharide sugar (lactose) into glucose and galactose. In the digestive system it acts in the small intestine to break down lactose into the easily absorbed simple sugars.
It is also used in industry in making ice-cream, yoghurt etc.

Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
What lack of enzyme cause lactose intolerance?
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
Is lactase breaking down lactose dehydration or hydrolosis?
lactase catalyses hydrolysis of lactose.
What is the chemical equation for lactose and lactase?
Lactose is C12H22O11. Lactase can have many different equations.
What is function of lactase?
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.
