additional information Homo sapiens progastricsin is responsible for the autoproteolysis of seminal fluid proteins under acidic conditions. This suggests that the function of the enzyme is to degrade seminal fluid proteins deposited in the vagina, this in turn may decrease the antigenic load in the vagina and prevent immuno-infertility ?
