In addition, evidence indicates that free inhibin α subunit may function as an inhibin antagonist (hence activin agonist) by competing with inhibin for binding to its co-receptor, betaglycan, to which inhibin binds via its α subunit17,18. Association with betaglycan on the cell surface greatly...
were detected participating in more than three ontological pathways. TheINHBAencodes the inhibin βA subunit, which combines with the α subunit to form Inhibin A; this suppresses FSH production and secretion, thereby inducing atresia of subordinate ovarian follicles [68]. Inhibin A also enhances ...
Glister C, Satchell L & Knight PG 2010 Changes in expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), their receptors and inhibin co-receptor betaglycan during bovine antral follicle development: inhibin can antagonize the suppressive effect of BMPs on thecal androgen production.
