Biological function summary
The Inhibin beta E chain participates in the regulation of reproductive hormone activity. It forms either homodimers or heterodimers combining with other inhibin and activin molecules. The dimerization with alpha chains forms inhibins while pairing with other beta subunits forms activins. These complexes then modulate signaling pathways that adjust hormonal secretion particularly in the pituitary and gonadal tissues.
Pathways
Inhibin beta E chain plays a significant role in the activin signaling pathway. This pathway affects the regulation of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) secretion which is important for reproductive processes. INHBE relates to proteins such as follistatin and activin A within these pathways influencing activities flowing from ligand-receptor interactions to transcriptional regulation.
General info
Function
Inhibins and activins inhibit and activate, respectively, the secretion of follitropin by the pituitary gland. Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Inhibins appear to oppose the functions of activins.. Activin E is a homodimer of INHBE secreted by the liver that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic homeostasis particularly in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Plays a central role in the regulation of adipose tissue lipolysis by preventing the influx of fatty acids from adipose tissue into the liver. Mechanistically, signals via ACVR1C to activate SMAD2/3 signaling, suppressing PPARG target genes in adipose tissue, thereby reducing liver lipid content and improving glycemic control (PubMed : 38533769). Induces beige adipocyte formation and thermogenesis in response to cold exposure (By similarity).
