Biological function summary
The primary role of Semenogelin I lies in its involvement in semen coagulation and liquefaction processes. It forms a complex with other seminal plasma proteins to stabilize the gel structure. This structural role ensures that Semenogelin I helps regulate the controlled release and proper function of spermatozoa. Additionally it is implicated in modulating immune system responses against male seminal antigens to prevent adverse reactions in the female reproductive tract.
Pathways
The actions of Semenogelin I integrate it into reproductive and coagulation pathways. In the context of semen coagulation and liquefaction it works closely with PSA which breaks down Semenogelin I and facilitates liquefaction and sperm motility. This process ties Semenogelin I into the prostaglandin signaling pathway which affects reproductive physiology and fertility. Furthermore proteins such as fibronectin and lactoferrin relate to Semenogelin I within these pathways assisting in post-ejaculation changes that enhance sperm function and fertility.

General info
Function
Predominant protein in semen. It participates in the formation of a gel matrix entrapping the accessory gland secretions and ejaculated spermatozoa. Fragments of semenogelin and/or fragments of the related proteins may contribute to the activation of progressive sperm movements as the gel-forming proteins are fragmented by KLK3/PSA.. Alpha-inhibin-92 and alpha-inhibin-31, derived from the proteolytic degradation of semenogelin, inhibit the secretion of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the semenogelin family.
Post-translational modifications
Transglutaminase substrate.. Rapidly cleaved after ejaculation by KLK3/PSA, resulting in liquefaction of the semen coagulum and the progressive release of motile spermatozoa.
