The principal Zn binding component in human prostatic fluid and seminal plasma was to bind Zn reversible and to be of low MW. Treatment of this Zn-containing complex (LMW-Zn) with trypsin and pronase or acid hydrolysis failed to alter its Zn binding properties or gel chromatographic characteristics. Removal of citrate with a combination of citrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase did, however, completely abolish its ability to bind Zn. Spectrographical scanning of LMW-Zn preparations obtained by gel chromatography of prostatic fluid or seminal plasma on a Sephadex G-25 column gave identical absorption curves with those obtained by scanning of a Zn-citrate solution. Application of the same analysis to LMW-Zn of human breast milk yielded similar results. Citrate is the major low MW Zn ligand in prostatic fluid, seminal plasma and breast milk.
