    Glossary Beta-galactosidase

    enzyme that breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose

    Beta-galactosidase, also known as β-galactosidase or lactase, is an enzyme that helps break down lactose, a sugar found in milk, into simpler sugars like glucose and galactose. This enzyme is crucial for individuals to properly digest dairy products, and its deficiency can lead to lactose intolerance. In a professional context, β-galactosidase is also used in molecular biology as a reporter gene to monitor gene expression.
