Seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) have striking effects on the behaviour and physiology of females in many insects. Some Drosophila melanogaster Sfps are not highly or exclusively expressed in the accessory glands, but derive from, or are additionally expressed in other male reproductive tissues. The full suite of Sfps includes transferred proteins from all male reproductive tissues, regardless of expression level or presence of a signal peptide.
精浆蛋白(Sfps)对许多昆虫的雌性行为和生理有显著影响。一些果蝇的 Sfps 不是高度或专门在附腺中表达,而是来源于或另外在其他雄性生殖组织中表达。全套 Sfps 包括来自所有雄性生殖组织的转移蛋白,无论其表达水平或是否存在信号肽。
