"Seminal fluid is a crucial part of human reproduction, and the enzyme responsible for breaking down its proteins is called seminase. The spelling of this word can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), with the first syllable pronounced as "sem" /sɛm/ and the second syllable pronounced as "in" /ɪn/. The final syllable is pronounced as "ase" /eɪs/, rhyming with "maze" or "phase". Therefore, seminase is pronounced as "SEH-muh-nays" /ˈsɛməneɪs/."
