Protein Identification of Seminal Plasma in Bali Bull (Bos javanicus).

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to identify seminal plasma proteins in Bali bull and their potential as biomarkers of fertility. Semen was collected from 10 bulls aged 5-10 years using an artificial vagina. Fresh semen was then centrifuged (3000× g for 30 min). The supernatant was put into straws and stored in liquid nitrogen. The semen plasma protein concentration was determined using the Bradford method, and the protein was characterized using 1D-SDS-PAGE. Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) was used to color the gel, and the molecular weight of the protein was determined using PM2700. A total of 94 proteins were identified in the seminal plasma of Bali bulls analyzed using LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry). Proteins spermadhesin 1 (SPADH1), C-type natriuretic peptide (N
