Descriptor activinas
Scope note: Las activinas se producen en la hipófisis, las gónadas y otros tejidos. Al actuar localmente estimulan la secreción de la FSH hipofisaria y tienen diversos efectos en la diferenciación celular y el desarrollo embrionario. Las activinas son glicoproteínas que son heterodímeros u homodímeros de SUBUNIDADES DE BETA-INHIBINAS.

Scope note: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.
