About SEMG2

Cytogenetic location: 20q13.12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:45,221,373-45,224,458 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 39 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The secreted protein encoded by this gene is involved in the formation of a gel matrix that encases ejaculated spermatozoa. Proteolysis by the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) breaks down the gel matrix and allows the spermatozoa to move more freely. The encoded protein is found in lesser abundance than a similar semenogelin protein. An Antibacterial activity has been found for a antimicrobial peptide isolated from this protein. The genes encoding these two semenogelin proteins are found in a cluster on chromosome 20. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
