semenogelin-2; semenogelin II; SGII (SEMG2)

Function: - role in the formation of a gel matrix (sperm coagulum) entrapping the accessory gland secretions & ejaculated spermatozoa - semenogelin-2 is thought to form both the 71 kD polypeptide &, in its glycosylated form, the 76 kD polypeptide - interacts with SERPINA5 Structure: belongs to the semenogelin family Compartment: secreted Expression: - expressed in seminal vesicles - expressed, to a much lesser extent, in epididymis
