Post Translational Modifications | N-glycosylated. |
Function | Broad specificity glycosidase of the intestinal brush border membrane that hydrolyzes lactose, the main sugar in mammalian milk, to produce D-glucose and D-galactose. The mature protein is composed of two domains that catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-glucopyranosides and beta-galactopyranosides, with a preference for hydrophilic aglycones (in lactose and cellobiose) for one domain and hydrophobic aglycones (in phlorizin and glycosylceramides) for the other. |
