Isolation, structure, and synthesis of a human seminal plasma peptide with inhibin-like activity

K Ramasharma et al. Science. .

Abstract

A basic peptide isolated from pooled human seminal plasma exhibited inhibin-like activity by suppressing pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone secretion in vitro and in vivo. The peptide has been characterized and sequenced, and a 31-amino-acid synthetic replicate showed full biological activity in vitro.
