Seminal plasma leucine aminopeptidase in male fertility. 1985

J M González Buitrago, and J A Navajo, and L C García Diez, and A Herruzo

Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) enzymatic activity has been measured in the seminal fluid of a group of 119 males undergoing fertility check-up, and correlated with spermatic density. The results indicate that there exists a direct correlation between LAP activity in the seminal plasma and spermatic density. However, differences between the groups considered according to spermatic density are not significant. Seminal plasma mean leucine aminopeptidase is 40 times higher than that found in blood plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007931 Leucyl Aminopeptidase A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. The activity of this enzyme is commonly assayed using a leucine arylamide chromogenic substrate such as leucyl beta-naphthylamide.
