    AnnotationSeminal plasma proteins bind to the sperm surface at ejaculation and may modulate sperm properties during reproduction. Porcine spermadhesins (AQN, AWN, PSP) are secreted mainly by the seminal vesicles (SV), but their mRNAs have been found also in the cauda epididymis and prostate. Using specific polyclonal antibodies, PSP-I and PSP-II proteins were immunodetected in tissue extracts from cauda epididymis, prostate, SV and Cowper´s glands on the blots, and in secretory tissues of cauda epididymis, prostate and SV by indirect immunofluorescence. We localized PSP spermadhesins on epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa. PSP proteins are produced not only by SV and prostate, but also by epididymis. Characterization of seminal plasma proteins expressed in the individual reproductive organs might help to understand their role in the reproduction process.
