Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Inhibin, a member of the TGF-beta superfamily, regulates ovarian follicular development by specifically suppressing follicle-stimulating hormone secretion. It is suggested that inhibin suppresses FSH secretion by destabilizing FSH beta mRNA through its 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Therefore, we have developed a mouse strain lacking the 3'UTR, and we are now analyzing characteristics of this strain. Furthermore, we developed a CHO cell line secreting rat recombinant inhibin to investigate mechanisms responsible for inhibin's action.
