Deletion of a Seminal Gene Cluster Reinforces a Crucial Role of SVS2 in Male Fertility

Deletion of a Seminal Gene Cluster Reinforces a Crucial Role of SVS2 in Male Fertility

Multiple genes, whose functions or expression are overlapping, compensate for the loss of one gene. A gene cluster in the mouse genome encodes five seminal vesicle proteins (SVS2, SVS3, SVS4, SVS5, and SVS6). These proteins are produced by male rodents and function in formation of the copulatory plu...
