Alpha-2-seminoglycoprotein (abbr. alpha-2-SGP) is a protein of unknown function purified from human seminal plasma, and exists in the secretions of the seminal vesicle and various glands. The protein is a carrier of glycoprotein for the ABO blood group. Tsuruya et al (2006) have determined two internal amino acid sequences of 8 and 12 residues that are found also in human Mac2BP [Mac-2-binding protein], shown to be identical with galectin-3-binding protein. In addition, the authors have shown that Alpha-2-seminoglycoprotein binds galectin-3. Thus, Alpha-2-seminoglycoprotein is most likely identical with galectin-3-binding protein.
