Seminal acid-phosphatase is produced in the

  • A.Adrenal gland
  • B.Prostate gland
  • C.Thyroid gland
  • D.Pituitary gland

Answer: B

Seminal acid phosphatase is produced in the prostate gland.

The acid phosphatase test is rapid, and a positive reaction is only presumptive, and it needs to be followed by tests like those for PSA or sperm.

The prostate secretes a fluid rich in acid phosphatase that forms part of the seminal fluid, and its high level in a stain is used as a presumptive test for semen.

The adrenal, thyroid and pituitary glands are endocrine glands that do not contribute the enzyme to semen.
