| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Inhibins facilitates the regulation of numerous cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response and hormone secretion. Loss of expression of inhibinα results in high grade prostate cancer. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the secretion of inhibin from the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles in the ovaries. In turn, inhibin suppresses FSH. Inhibin secretion is diminished by GHRH, and enhanced by insulin-like growth factor-1. Inhibin may involve competing with activin for binding to activin receptors and binding to inhibin-specific receptors. Activin, inhibin and follistatin participate as intraovarian regulatory molecules involved in follicular cell proliferation, differentiation, steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation and corpus luteum function. |

| General description: | NHA (inhibin, alpha) gene encodes the alpha subunit of inhibins A and B protein complexes that belongs to TGF-beta family. It is localized in the syncytiotrophoblast and the intermediate trophoblast of the placenta and may play a role in the mechanism of labor. INHA is also known as Inhibin α. Activin and inhibin are two closely related protein complexes involved in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis. They are produced in the gonads, pituitary gland, placenta, corpus luteum and other organs. |
