Glycodelin from seminal plasma is a differentially glycosylated form of contraceptive glycodelin-A.
Glycodelin-A is a human amniotic fluid-derived glycoprotein with contraceptive and immunosuppressive activities. An immunoreactive form of glycodelin was detected in seminal plasma over a decade ago, but definitive characterization of this glycoprotein was not pursued. We considered it unlikely that the seminal plasma of fertile men would contain an appreciable amount of contraceptive glycodeli...
متن کاملGlycodelin: a major lipocalin protein of the reproductive axis with diverse actions in cell recognition and differentiation.
Glycodelin is a glycoprotein that belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. Depending on glycosylation, glycodelin appears in various isoforms. In the uterus, glycodelin-A is the major progesterone-regulated glycoprotein secreted into uterine luminal cavity by secretory/decidualized endometrial glands. The other tissues expressing glycodelin include fallopian tubes, ovary, breast, seminal vesicle, ...
متن کاملGlycodelin-A as a modulator of trophoblast invasion.
BACKGROUND Trophoblast invasion is crucial to placentation. The relationship between decidual glycodelin-A and trophoblast invasion is not known. METHODS Invasiveness of First trimester extravillous cytotrophoblast-1 (TEV-1) cell line, TEV-1, cells was determined by trans-well invasion assay. The gene expression, protein secretion and activities of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9,...
متن کاملOligosaccharides modulate the apoptotic activity of glycodelin.
GlycodelinA (GdA), a multifunctional glycoprotein secreted at high concentrations by the uterine endometrium during the early phases of pregnancy, carries glycan chains on asparagines at positions N28 and N63. GdA purified from amniotic fluid is known to be a suppressor of T-cell proliferation, an inducer of T-cell apoptosis, and an inhibitor of sperm-zona binding in contrast to its glycoform, ...
متن کاملCumulus oophorus-associated glycodelin-C displaces sperm-bound glycodelin-A and -F and stimulates spermatozoa-zona pellucida binding.
Spermatozoa have to swim through the oviduct and the cumulus oophorus before fertilization in vivo. In the oviduct, spermatozoa are exposed to glycodelin-A and -F that inhibit spermatozoa-zona pellucida binding. In this study, we determined whether these glycodelins would inhibit fertilization. The data showed that the spermatozoa without previous exposure to glycodelin-A and -F acquired glycod...
