Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila the products of the seminal fluid stimulate oviposition and suppress remating in the female. Of all the accessory gland peptides (Acp's) involved in these two responses, the sex-peptide (coded by the Acp70A gene) is among the best characterized at the functional level. A 1.2-kb frag...
