Evolution of stomach lysozyme: the pig lysozyme gene.
Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Apr 1996
Yu M, Irwin D M
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...
