Semenogelin Test
Information
- Semenogelin is a protein produced by the seminal vesicles
that causes seminal fluid to form a coagulum subsequent to
ejaculation.
- Semenogelin (Sg), the major protein of the human semen
coagulum, is present at high concentrations in
seminal vesicle secretions.
- The primary source of these proteins is the seminal vesicles
and, apart from a small production of SgII in epididymis,
they have not been detected in other tissues.
- Semenogelin protects spermatozoa and the testes that produce
them from infection.
- The test device is a lateral flow immunochromatographic
strip designed to detect the presence of human
semenogelin.
- The strip uses two anti-human semenogelin monoclonal
antibodies in a lateral flow format, which detects the
presence of semenogelin.
