Entry
Name
lactase;
lactase-phlorizin hydrolase;
LPH (gene name);
LCT (gene name)
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
lactose galactohydrolase (configuration-retaining)
Reaction(IUBMB)
lactose + H2O = beta-D-galactose + D-glucose [RN:
R01100 R06114 ]

Substrate
Product
Comment
The enzyme from intestinal mucosa contains two glycosyl hydrolase domains, both of which belong to glycosyl hydrolase family 1 (GH1). While the first domain catalyses the activity described here, the second domain catalyses the reaction of EC
3.2.1.62 glycosylceramidase. cf. EC
3.2.1.33 amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase.
History
