Gene Information

human ... INHBB(3625)

General description

Inhibin-B (INHBB) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein with disulfide-linkage. It is produced by granulosa cells in the ovary. The INHBB gene is mapped to human chromosome 2q14.2. Inhibin-B inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and synthesis. It may serve in diagnosing testicular function and as an indicator of Sertoli cell numbers and function. Inhibin B may serve as a marker for spermatogenesis.
The Inhibin B Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) Kit is an in vitro quantitative assay for detecting Inhibin B peptide based on the principle of Competitive Enzyme Immunoassay. EIA-INB-1 targets the β B subunit, and therefore theoretically detects Activin B and Activin AB in addition to Inhibin B.
