inhibition test

Polypeptide hormone secreted by the hypophysis that selectively suppresses the secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone. The molecule has two subunit and is a product of the gene family that includes TGF . There are two forms, A and B, the subunit being shared with activin.

Things To Learn:

TGF (Transforming Growth Hormone)- these are proteins secreted by transformed cells that can stimulate growth of normal cells.


Bone morphogenetic proteins – these are non-collagenous factors and they arebelieved to be proteins that occur in demineralised bone and stimulate osteogenesis.
