ABP stands for "Androgen-binding protein". ABP is a glycoprotein (beta-globulin) produced by the Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. ABP causes testosterone to bind with spermatocyte cells (spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, spermatids). Testosterone is necessary for proper sperm production.
