Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cytokine activity and inhibin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including gonad development; hemoglobin biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be part of inhibin A complex; inhibin B complex; and inhibin-betaglycan-ActRII complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including enteric nervous system; forelimb bud; gut; heart; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate carcinoma. Orthologous to human INHA (inhibin subunit alpha).
