Abstract

The complete amino acid sequences of two forms of human ovarian inhibin have been determined through cloning and nucleotide sequencing of cDNAs encoding their individual subunit precursors. The α subunit common to both forms of human inhibin is homologous (84 percent conserved) to its equivalent porcine α subunit; the subunits which are different in both inhibins (βA and βB) are identical to their porcine equivalents in all but one of 232 sequence positions.
