Abstract excerpt
Isolated sucrase deficiency has been demonstrated in a line of house musk shrew, Suncus murinus (laboratory name: suncus). This animal belongs to the order Insectivore and is phylogenetically different from ordinarily used laboratory animals. They are believed to have evolved with mainly animal f...
