Seminal plasma (n = 12) from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients were analyzed by gel-electrophoresis using seminal plasma and expressed prostatic secretion from fertile men as controls. Heavy precipitation at the entering position of the gel and streaking in the gel matrix was observed, demonstrating a reduced solubility of seminal proteins in CF. Comparison of the protein patterns evidenced that CF-seminal plasma (CF-SP) mainly consisted of prostatic components. Although lactoferrin was undetectable in all samples, trace amounts of low molecular weight proteins were observed in two patients. This latter finding could imply that CF-SP may contain proteolytic fragments of prostatic and/or vesicular proteins or de novo synthesized components.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.

D029589 Seminal Plasma Proteins Proteins found in SEMEN. Major seminal plasma proteins are secretory proteins from the male sex accessory glands, such as the SEMINAL VESICLES and the PROSTATE. They include the seminal vesicle-specific antigen, an ejaculate clotting protein; and the PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN, a protease and an esterase.
