Abstract excerpt
The acquisition of an efficient stomach lysozyme is associated with the success of the ruminants. Advanced ruminants, such as cow, sheep, and deer, have approximately 10 lysozyme genes, some of which are expressed and function in the stomach and some which are expressed and function in nonstomach tissues (e.g., trachea or kidney).
