Alternative Names
Inhibin Beta C Chain; Activin Beta-C Chain; INHBC
Background
Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Inhibins appear to oppose the functions of activins,Inhibins and activins inhibit and activate, respectively, the secretion of follitropin by the pituitary gland.
