“Digestive Enzymes”  

  In our body's Digestive System, the Digestive Enzymes are responsible for digestion of nutrients while supporting the digestive system with absorption, transportation, metabolization and elimination.
  Digestive Enzymes include three broad enzyme classes: proteolytic or protease needed to digest and break down protein into amino acids; lipases needed to digest fat; and amylases needed to digest carbohydrates including sugar. *

“Amylase (Amylases)”  

Amylase

  In enzyme science, Amylase (Amylases) refers to a group of amylolytic enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) sugar and starch.
  The enzyme Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into smaller fragments, producing a mixture of di-and tri- saccharides (2 and 3 sugars). **

“alpha-Galactosidase”  

Alpha-Galactosidase

  In enzyme science, alpha-Galactosidase is a hydrolase enzyme reaction, encoded by the GLA gene.
  In enzymology, alpha-Galactosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing alpha-D-galactose residues in alpha-galactosides.

In the body, Alpha Galactosidase (Alpha glactosidase) facilitates the digestion of beans, legumes, seeds, roots, soy products, and underground stems. **

“Lipases (Lipase Gene Family)”  

Lipase

  In enzyme science, Lipase (Lipase Gene Family Members) is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats (lipids), including triglycerides.

• In our body, Lipases are enzymes from that digests fats.
• In our diet, Lipases are the exogenous digestive enzymes from foods that digests fats.

  In our body, the highest concentration of lipase is found in pancreatic acinar cells, lower levels found in the gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, duodenum, stomach and colon. Also lipase has been described in the liver, heart, lungs and leukocytes.

Lipase Gene Family

  In our body, endogenous the lipases of the Lipase Gene Family include:

• AADAC gene (arylacetamide deacetylase)
• CEL gene (carboxyl ester lipase)
• DAGLA gene (diacylglycerol lipase alpha)
• DAGLB gene (diacylglycerol lipase beta)
• LIPA gene (lipase A, lysosomal acid type)
• LIPB gene Lysosomal Acid Lipase-B
• LIPC gene (lipase C, hepatic type)
• LIPE gene (lipase E, hormone sensitive type)
• LIPF gene (lipase F, gastric type)
• LIPG gene (lipase G, endothelial type)
• LIPH gene (lipase H)
• LIPI Gene (lipase I)
• LIPJ gene Gene (lipase family member J)
• LIPK gene (lipase family member K)
• LIPM gene (lipase family member M)
• LIPN gene (lipase family member N)
• LPL gene (lipoprotein lipase)
• MGLL gene Gene (monoglyceride lipase)
• PNLIP gene (pancreatic lipase)
• PNLIPRP2 gene (pancreatic lipase related protein 2 (gene/pseudogene))
• PNLIPRP3 gene (pancreatic lipase related protein 3)
• PNPLA2 gene (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 2)

“Lactase”  

  In biochemistry, Lactase as a glycoside hydrolase enzyme reaction, is a disaccharidase belonging to part of the β-galactosidase family of enzymes, involved in the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose into constituent galactose and glucose monomers.
  In our body, Lactase is a a digestive enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of Lactose to Galactose (D-Galactose) and Glucose (D-Glucose).

In our body, Lactase is an enzyme present predominantly along the brush border membrane of the differentiated enterocytes lining the villi of the small intestine. **

“Glycosidases (Glycoside Hydrolases)”  

Glycoside Hydrolases

  In enzyme science, Glycosidases (Glycoside Hydrolases) are glycosylase enzymes in the hydrolase enzyme class, that catalyze the hydrolysis and/or rearrangement of the glycosidic linkage to release smaller sugars.

Glycosidases (Glycoside Hydrolases), as enzymes, catalyze the hydrolysis of either O-glycosides or S-glycosides.
   are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage of glycosides, leading to the formation of a sugar hemiacetal or hemiketal and the corresponding free aglycon. Glycoside hydrolases are also referred to as glycosidases, and sometimes also as glycosyl hydrolases. Glycoside hydrolases can catalyze the hydrolysis of O-, N- and S-linked glycosides.
  Examples of glycoside hydrolase enzymes and some genes include:

alpha-L-Fucosidase (FUCA) Amylases Amylases alpha (AMY) beta-fructofuranosidase (invertase) chitinases chitinase-like lectins Dextranase Disaccharidases + galactosylceramidases + Glucosidases + Glucuronidase N-Glycosyl Hydrolases Glycoside hydrolase family 1 Glycoside hydrolase family 31 Hexosaminidases (HEX) Hyaluronoglucosaminidase Iduronidase Isoamylase Mannosidases + Lysozymes (LY) Neuraminidases (NEU)

Oligo-1,6-Glucosidase Sucrase-Isomaltase Complex Polygalacturonase Xylosidases + Chitinases (CHI) Galactosidases alpha (GLA) Galactosidases beta (GLB) Heparanases (HPSE) Hyaluronidases (HYAL) Also in the glycoside hydrolases gene group: AGL gene, encoding amylo-alpha-1, 6-glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase ENGASE gene encoding endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase GALC gene encoding galactosylceramidase GBA gene encoding glucosylceramidase beta GBA2 gene gene encoding glucosylceramidase beta 2 GUSB gene encoding glucuronidase beta IDUA gene encoding iduronidase alpha-L- MOGS gene encoding mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase NAGLU gene encoding N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase PGGHG gene encoding protein-glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine glucosidase TREH gene encoding trehalase
