Constituents of Bull Seminal Plasma

Constituents of Bull Seminal Plasma

Seminalplasmin, the major basic protein of bull seminal plasma, is a secretory protein of the seminal vesicles.

From the experimental results of three independent methods: (1) indirect immunofluorescence employing monospecific anti-seminalplasmin-IgGs, (2) cell-free translation of poly(A)+ RNA from seminal vesicle and testicular tissue, as well as (3) Northern analysis of poly(A)+ RNA of the latter tissues with a synthetic seminalplasmin-specific antisense DNA probe, it is concluded that the biosynthesis...

Biochemical analysis of bovine (BosIndicus) seminal plasma

The aim of this study was to investigate the comparison between some seminal plasma parameters and age of the bull. Concentrations of various biochemical parameters like fructose, glucose, total proteins, albumin and inorganic ions including Na, K and Cl ions of seminal plasma of breeding Sahiwal bulls of different ageswere assessed. Methods: 40Sahiwal bullsdivided into 4 age groups.Semen (2ml ...

The double pH optimum of 5'-nucleotidase of bull seminal plasma.

The action of bull seminal plasma .5’-nucleotidase on adenosine 5’-phosphate in the presence of magnesium has one optimum at pH 7.5 to 8.0 and a second at pH 9.1 to 9.3. Only one optimum, at pH 7.5 to 8.0, occurs in the absence of magnesium. The phenomenon of a double pH optimum was independent of the nature of the buffer that was employed. A magnesium concentration of 0.005 to 0.01 M and a tem...
