Identification of the major rabbit and guinea pig semen coagulum proteins and description of the diversity of the REST gene locus in the mammalian clade Glires.

The seminal vesicle secretions of guinea pig and rabbit were analyzed for semen coagulum proteins. Using SDS-PAGE we discovered a previously not fully recognized semen coagulum protein, Svp5, in the guinea pig and a single predominant component, SVP200, in the rabbit. Potential genes of these protei...
