Beta-microseminoprotein, also known as MSMB or PSP94, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSMB gene. It is a member of the immunoglobulin binding factor family. This gene is mapped to 10q11.23. It is synthesized by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland and secreted into the seminal plasma. The expression of the encoded protein is found to be decreased in prostate cancer. But transcripts of identical size were found in prostate, respiratory (tracheal, bronchial, and lung) tissues, and the mucosa of the gastric antrum. Thus, the protein may have functions other than those related to male reproduction. This protein has inhibin-like activity. It may have a role as an autocrine paracrine factor in uterine, breast and other female reproductive tissues.
