Target Information
Bovine inhibin alpha chain is a component of the inhibin family of hormones, which are important in the regulation of the reproductive system. Inhibin is a disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein consisting of an alpha subunit and one of the beta subunits (βA or βB). The alpha chain, along with the beta subunits, is encoded by the INHA, INHBA, and INHBB genes, respectively. In Bovine, the inhibin alpha chain plays a pivotal role in the negative feedback regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) production by pituitary gonadotrophs. It is also involved in the modulation of ovarian function and has been shown to have intrinsic biological activities distinct from dimeric inhibins, potentially serving as a local modulator of follicular function.
