A male seminal fluid protein SFP-1 regulates hermaphrodite post-mating longevity and fat metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
This study identifies SFP-1 as a male seminal fluid protein in C. elegans that induces post-mating physiological changes by interacting with transcription factors in the intestine, leading to fat depletion and reduced lifespan.
