Abstract
A two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis map of bull seminal plasma proteins has been established. About 250 spots were detected after silver staining and polypeptides from 24 spots have been N‐terminally sequenced. Major proteins already described in bull seminal plasma, like PDC‐109 and aSFP, have been located on the map; proteins not yet reported in male reproductive tracts have been evidenced; for some polypeptides showing a previously unknown N‐terminal sequence, structural similarities with proteins described in other organisms have been found. A reference map of seminal plasma proteins could be useful in relating protein pattern changes to physiopathological events influencing the reproductive sphere.
