Key result
Mouse seminal vesicle protein F was cloned, mapped to chromosome 15, and unexpectedly found to be expressed at high levels in skeletal muscle.
The study identifies the partial nucleotide sequence of mouse SVP F, its unexpected high expression in skeletal muscle, and maps it to chromosome 15.
Unexpected SVP F expression in mouse skeletal muscle is hypothesis-generating; leaves open functional roles beyond seminal vesicles.
Seminal vesicle proteins (SVPs) are made by male rodents, and form the copulatory plug following mating. Here we report a partial nucleotide sequence of a mouse clone homologous to rat SVP F. Unexpectedly, we found that SVP F-related transcripts are expressed at high levels in mouse skeletal muscle. We mapped mouse SVP F to mouse chromosome 15 using somatic cell hybrid lines.
