Description | Inhibins and activins are glycoproteins, secreted by the gonads, that belong to the transforming growth factor beta family [ ]. They participate in differentiation and growth of diverse cell types. Inhibin inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary [].Inhibin has two isoforms, A and B, with the same alpha subunit but different beta subunits. Inhibin A is a dimer of alpha and beta A subunits, inhibin B is a dimer of alpha and beta B subunits.Activin A is a dimer of beta A subunits, activin AB is a dimer of beta A and beta B chains.This entry represents the C-terminal domain of INHBB. | Name | Inhibin, beta B subunit, C-terminal |
