Nope. Enzymes (with some exceptions) conventionally get their names by appending "ase" to either the process their catalyzing or the substance they affect or both.
Examples:
- Lactase - breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk. Insufficient production of lactase leads to lactose intolerance (which is not an allergy)
- Hexokinase adds phosphorus (and by that energy) to glucose, and is the enzyme that initiates breakdown of glucose in our cells.
And the exceptions: Pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin which collaborate on breaking down protein chains in our intestines.
