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. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

What's a GeneRIF?

Results showed activin-C and follistatin are differentially expressed during prostate development and suggested that the antagonistic property of follistatin is secondary to the action of activin-C. Study provides evidence to support a role of activin-C in prostate development and provides new insights in the spatiotemporal localization of activins and their antagonists during mouse prostate development.
Title: Regional localization of activin-β(A), activin-β(C), follistatin, proliferation, and apoptosis in adult and developing mouse prostate ducts.
Data reinforces the importance of activin-betaC in reproductive biology and suggests that activin-betaC is a tumor modulator with gonadal specificity.
Title: Activin-βC modulates gonadal, but not adrenal tumorigenesis in the inhibin deficient mice.
results indicate that the beta(C) and beta(E) subunits of activin form homo- and heterodimers, and that the functions of the two subunits are quite different
Title: Comparison of the function of the beta(C) and beta(E) subunits of activin in AML12 hepatocytes.
Data support the conclusion that activin inhibits adrenal tumor growth promoted by luteinizing hormone by inducing adrenal x-zone regression.
Title: Activin induces x-zone apoptosis that inhibits luteinizing hormone-dependent adrenocortical tumor formation in inhibin-deficient mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
