Canine seminal plasma proteins

Denica Daskalova

Abstract: Researchers have been done to identify а proteins contains in canine seminal plasma and relate
them to quality, sperm motility, vigor and their role on capacitating, acrosome reaction, hyperactivation
and etc. In addition, determination of specific canine seminal plasma proteins serving as biomarkers
of some reproductive diseases. It is known that proteins, like: spermadhesin protein family,
osteiopontin, kallikrein, some heparin-binding proteins and etc. are associated with sperm quality
and play an important role during fertilization. Also, there is a data that specific proteins have an effect
on hyperactiovation on canine spermatozoa, gamete interaction and etc. Specific seminal plasma
proteins have been identified as markers for some diseases.
Thus the present literature review aims to append to more growing studies demonstrates that the
canine seminal plasma proteins have a different impact and also to give new insight of aspects related
to the wide roles of seminal plasma proteins and their effect and influence on fertilization process.
