Lactase (EC 3.2.1.108) is an enzyme produced by many organisms and is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk. It breaks down the sugar lactose...

extremely rare genetic disorder in which little or no lactase is made from birth. The reduction of lactase production starts typically in late childhood or...

Lactase persistence or lactose tolerance is the continued activity of the lactase enzyme in adulthood, allowing the digestion of lactose in milk. In most...

lactase production into adulthood due to dietary consumption of milk products throughout adulthood driving selection for genes that continue lactase production...

and pancreatin, are commercial mixtures of amylase, lipase, protease and lactase. They are used to treat malabsorption syndrome due to certain pancreatic...

oligosaccharides. Other brush border enzymes are maltase, sucrase and lactase. Lactase is absent in some adult humans and, for them, lactose (a disaccharide)...
