Gene: INHBC
Alternate names for this Gene: IHBC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a subunit of homodimeric and heterodimeric activin complexes. The heterodimeric complex may function in the inhibition of activin A signaling. Transgenic mice overexpressing this gene exhibit defects in testis, liver and prostate.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12q13.3
Description of this Gene: inhibin subunit beta C
Type of Gene: protein-coding
