About Inha

Summary

Enables inhibin binding activity. Involved in male gonad development; negative regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion; and ovarian follicle development. Located in several cellular components, including neuronal cell body; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Part of Inhibin A complex and Inhibin B complex. Biomarker of Leydig cell tumor. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate carcinoma. Orthologous to human INHA (inhibin subunit alpha).
