Preferred Label : inhibins;
MeSH definition : 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;
