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 food without sucrose. To study the molecular basis of the sucrase deficiency in suncus, we cloned 6. 0-kilobase (kb)...
