Mutual adaptation between mouse transglutaminase 4 and its native substrates in the formation of copulatory plug
Formation of copulatory plugs by male animals is a common means of reducing competition with rival males. In mice, copulatory plugs are formed by the coagulation of seminal vesicle secretion (SVS), which is a ...
