Structure and function of prostatic- and seminal vesicle-secreted proteins involved in the gelation and liquefaction of human semen

Lilja, H. LU orcid (1988) In Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation 48(S191). p.13-20
Abstract

At ejaculation, the epididymal spermatozoa mix with the secretions produced by the seminal vesicles and the prostate. The glandular secretions immediately turns into a gel-like structure which entraps the spermatozoa. The ejaculated spermatozoa become progressively motile as the gel dissolves. The discovery, structure, and interactions of proteins involved in these post-ejaculatory phase reactions of semen are here reported.
