Descriptor inhibinas
Scope note: Glicoproteínas que inhiben la secreción de la FSH hipofisaria. Las inhibinas son secretadas por las células de Sertoli testiculares, las células de la granulosa de los folículos ováricos, la placenta y otros tejidos. Las inhibinas y las ACTIVINAS modulan la secreción de FSH; ambos grupos pertenecen a la superfamilia del TGF-beta, como el FACTOR BETA TRANSFORMADOR DEL CRECIMIENTO. Las inhibinas son un heterodímero con enlaces disulfuro con una sola subunidad alfa que se une a una subunidad beta A o beta B para formar la inhibina A o la inhibina B, respectivamente.

Scope note: Glycoproteins that inhibit pituitary FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE secretion. Inhibins are secreted by the Sertoli cells of the testes, the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles, the placenta, and other tissues. Inhibins and ACTIVINS are modulators of FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE secretions; both groups belong to the TGF-beta superfamily, as the TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA. Inhibins consist of a disulfide-linked heterodimer with a unique alpha linked to either a beta A or a beta B subunit to form inhibin A or inhibin B, respectively
