Distribution and Tissue Expression of Semenogelin I and II in Man as Demonstrated by In Situ Hybridization and Immunocytochemistry
2 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Semenogelin I and II (Sgl, Sgll) are two separate gene products of chromosome 20 with extensive (80%) identity in primary structure. They are mainly responsible for immediate gel formation of freshly ejaculated semen. Degradation of Sgl and Sgll is due to the proteolytic action of prostate-specific antigen (PSA); it results within 5-15 minutes in liquefaction of semen and release of progressively motile...
