| Description | The tissular origin of alkaline phosphatase was evaluated in canine seminal plasma. Alkaline phosphatase activity was most concentrated in the first fraction of the split ejaculate and was virtually undetectable in the third and fourth fractions, by contrast, arginine esterase, a known marker of dog prostatic secretion, was present in similar concentrations in all fractions of the split ejaculates analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis. Similarly, arginine esterase was very abundant in secretory granules prepared from dog prostate homogenates, whereas these granules contained virtually no alkaline phosphatase. Among male sex accessory organs, alkaline phosphatase activity was very high in the epididymis and much lower in the testis and prostate. Furthermore, the specific activity in epididymal fluid collected from the cauda epididymis was about 10 times higher than in the corresponding epididymal homogenates. These results show that the major portion of alkaline phosphatase in dog seminal plasma does not come from the prostate but from the epididymis. |
