The enzyme that breaks down the milk sugar (lactose).
an enzyme that acts as a catalyst to convert lactose into glucose and galactose.
This is an enzyme that will break lactose down to two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. Without this ezyme lactose is not broken down.
any of a group of enzymes (trade name Lactaid) that hydrolyze lactose to glucose and galactose
digests lactose, or milk sugar, (almost 65% of humans are deficient).
An enzyme that converts lactose into its more digestible simple sugar components: glucose and galactose. The lactase enzyme is available in liquid form to add to milk or in tablet form to take with solid food.
This is an enzyme that is used to break down the milk sugar and changes it into galactose and glucose. When person who suffers from lactase deficiency they experience diarrhea and abdominal cramping after consuming products containing milk and lactose.
An enzyme used by the small intestine to breakdown lactose into shorter more absorbable substances.
The enzyme that breaks down lactose (the sugar found in dairy products).
an enzyme in the small intestine needed to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products.
A type of enzyme that breaks down lactose, the predominant sugar in milk.
enzyme in the small intestine needed to digest milk sugar (lactose).
is the enzyme which enables the small intestine to digest lactose.
Enzyme that breaks down the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. Persons with a deficiency of lactase in the gut can develop abdominal cramping and diarrhea after ingesting milk products.
Enzyme that helps body convert lactose to glucose and galactose.
An enzyme which breaks down milk sugar or lactose.
An enzyme secreted in the intestine that is needed to digest lactose (milk sugar).
Lactase digests milk sugar. Lactase deficiency is the most common and well-known form of carbohydrate intolerance.
This enzyme digests lactose (milk sugar).
Enzyme in certain yeasts and mammalian intestinal tracts that catalyzes converting lactose to glucose and galactose. Lactase tablets remove lactose from milk for people who are lactose intolerant. See next entry.
An enzyme that converts the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose.
An enzyme that aids the body in converting lactose to glucose and galactose. It is also necessary for digestion of milk and milk products.
An enzyme that is needed to digest lactose (sugar found in milk products).
Lactase (LCT), a member of the β-galactosidase family of enzymes, is a glycoside hydrolase involved in the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose into constituent galactose and glucose monomers. In humans, lactase is present predominantly along the brush border membrane of the differentiated enterocytes lining the villi of the small intestine.
