The development of the seminal vesicle from the mesonephric duct is described. Particular attention is given to the recent biochemistry of seminal vesicle proteins. Proteins in the seminal vesicle fluid are few in number, may be insoluble at certain pH, and frequently form large macromolecular aggregates. Although not an absolute requirement for fertility, seminal vesicle fluid assists in a number of ways to insure fertility. A biochemical model is presented that demonstrates that cAMP dependent phosphorylation may be an important interaction between sperm and certain seminal vesicle proteins.
描述了精囊从中肾管发育而来的过程。特别关注了精囊蛋白质的最新生物化学研究。精囊液中的蛋白质数量较少,在某些pH值下可能不溶,并且经常形成大的大分子聚集体。虽然精囊液并非生育的绝对必要条件,但它在许多方面有助于确保生育能力。本文提出了一个生化模型,该模型表明cAMP依赖性磷酸化可能是精子与某些精囊蛋白质之间的重要相互作用。
