inhibin B complex
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
Heterodimeric hormone composed of an inhibin alpha subunit complexed with an inhibin beta-B subunit. [GOC:jl]
The inhibin B complex is a heterodimeric protein composed of an alpha subunit (INHBA) and a beta B subunit (INHBB). The alpha subunit is a secreted glycoprotein that is found in various tissues, including the gonads, pituitary gland, and placenta. The beta B subunit is a transmembrane protein that is primarily expressed in the gonads. The complex is assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus of cells, where it undergoes post-translational modifications, including glycosylation. After assembly, the inhibin B complex is secreted from the cell. The inhibin B complex can be found in various extracellular compartments, including the bloodstream, where it circulates as a free protein. Therefore, the cellular components associated with the inhibin B complex are the ER, Golgi apparatus, and the extracellular space.'
