 == Function ==
-'''Invertase''' (INV) catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and frucrtose.  INV is produced by bees which use it to make honey from nectar.  INV is used in the food industry to produce fructose which is sweeter and does not crystallize easily.  '''Cell-wall INV''' is crucial for metabolism, growth and differentiation in plants.  For details in Hebrew see [[Invertase (Hebrew)]].
