Betaglycan (TGFBR3) Functions as an Inhibin A, but Not Inhibin B, Coreceptor in Pituitary Gonadotrope Cells in Mice
25 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Inhibins are gonadal hormones that act on pituitary gonadotrope cells to suppress FSH synthesis and secretion. Inhibin A and B are heterodimers of the inhibin ⍺-subunit disulfide-linked to one of two inhibin β-subunits. Homodimers or heterodimers of the inhibin β-subunits form the activins, which stimulate FSH production. Activins signal through complexes of type I and II receptor serine/threonine kinases to...
