CC -!- FUNCTION: Seems to play a role in testicular function. May be a trophic
CC hormone with a role in testicular descent in fetal life. Is a ligand
CC for LGR8 receptor (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of a B chain and an A chain linked by two
CC disulfide bonds. {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in Leydig cells of the testis, and weakly
CC in the theca interna cells of antral follicles and the corpus luteum of
CC the ovary. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10542371}.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highly expressed in adult testis and low
CC expression in the ovary. Highly up-regulated in testes of day 19
CC embryos, but not in later neonatal stages, nor any ovarian tissue from
CC this period. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10542371}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the insulin family. {ECO:0000305}.
