1. Inhibin
   Inhibin: One of two hormones (designated inhibin-A and inhibin-B) secreted by the gonads (by Sertoli cells in the male and the granulosa cells in the female) and that inhibit the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland. The inhibins also figure in the control of gamet...

2. inhibin
   Polypeptide hormone secreted by the hypophysis, that selectively suppresses the secretion of pituitary FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone). The molecule has two subunits (14 and 18 kD), and is a product of the gene family that includes TGF b . There are two forms, ab A and ab f573 sf B, the b subunit being shared with activin. Inhibin is now, on the basis of gene knockout experiments, considered to be a tumour-suppressor, the key gene being that for inhibin- a .

5. inhibin
   Type: Term Pronunciation: in-hib′in Definitions: 1. One of several proteins that participate in differentiation and growth. Two glycoproteins, inhibin A and inhibin B, are secreted by Sertoli cells in the testis and granulosa cells in the ovary, inhibiting FSH secretion by direct action on the pituitary.
