Abstract
Lactase has been partially purified from human intestinal mucosa. Lactase was inhibited
by glucose, galactose, and fructose with the use of a radioisotopic assay; sucrase
was inhibited by glucose and fructose; and maltase was inhibited by glucose alone.
However, the Ki for glucose was the same (about 30 mM) for all 3 enzymes. No obvious structural requirements
could be determined for inhibition of lactase, but naturally occurring sugars were
the best inhibitors. inhibition by sugars of all disaccharidases was pH dependent,
with a pH optimum of 6. It was suggested that inhibition of lactase by sugars might
be physiologically important and provide one mechanism for the production of lactose
intolerance.
