Mouse anti-Inhibin A, Clone AMY82 (monoclonal)

Inhibins and activins are members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) family of cytokines. Inhibins are heterodimers consisting of a common α-subunit linked to either a βA subunit ( α-βA, forming inhibin A) or a βB subunit ( α-βB, forming inhibin B). Activins share the β-subunit with the inhibins and may be homo or heterodimers of β-subunits forming activin A (βA-βA), activin AB (βA-βB) or activin B (βB-βB). The expression of the α-subunit, and therefore of inhibins appears to be more restricted than that of the β-subunit, and therefore of activins. Inhibins and activins play a role in the regulation of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion.
