Structural heterogeneity and protein composition of exosome‐like vesicles (prostasomes) in human semen

25 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human seminal fluid contains small exosome-like vesicles called prostasomes. Prostasomes have been reported previously to play an important role in the process of fertilization by boosting survivability and motility of spermatozoa, in addition to modulating acrosomal reactivity. Prostasomes have also been reported to present with sizes varying from 50 to 500 nm and to have multilayered lipid...
