Tissue SpecificityThis protein is, the main protein synthesized and secreted in the endometrium from mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and during the first semester of pregnancy (PubMed:3667877). Glycodelin-A is expressed in amniotic fluid, endometrium/decidua and maternal serum (at protein level) (PubMed:3194393). Glycodelin-F is expressed in follicular fluid, luteinized granulosa cells and the oviduct (at protein level) (PubMed:12672671). Glycodelin-S is expressed in seminal plasma and seminal vesicles (at protein level) (PubMed:9239694). Glycodelin-C is detected in cumulus cells (at protein level), but cumulus cells do not synthesize Glycodelin-C but take up and convert glycodelin-A and -F vis glycan remodeling (PubMed:17192260). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12672671, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17192260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3194393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3667877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9239694}.
