    摘要: A dimeric protein with inhibin activity is isolated from ram reta testis fluid using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and gel filtration. The isolated molecule is composed of two chains having apparent molecular weights of about 18,000 and about 16,500 to 14,500 Daltons, as measured by gel electrophoresis, which are bound together by disulfide bonding and the longer of which is likely glycosylated. Microsequencing revealed the NH.sub.2 -terminal portion of the longer chain to be Ser- Thr-Pro-Pro-Leu-Pro-Trp-Pro-Trp-Ser-Pro-Ala-Ala-Leu-Arg-Leu-Gln-Arg-Pro-Pro- Glu-Glu-Pro-Ala-Ala-His-Ala-Asp-Cys and of the shorther chain to by Gly-Leu-Glu-Cys-Asp-Gly-Lys-Val-Asn-Ile-Cys-Cys-Lys-Lys-Gln-Phe. This dimeric protein specifically inhibits basal secretion of FSH, but not of LH, in a rat anterior pituitary monolayer culture system, exhibiting a half-maximal effective dose of about 0.1 to 0.3 ng/ml. Furthermore, antibodies raised against synthetic replicates of the N-terminal six residues of the longer chain, as well as against the N-terminal 25 residues, are effective to reduce the activity of highly purified intact ovine inhibin and might be used to exert a profertility effect in rams, ewes and other mammals.
