- CMolecular weight is between 10k-30k Dalton
- DSecreted by Sertoli cells
Correct answer
A. It is a lipoprotein
Step-by-step solution
Statement (1) is incorrect about inhibin. It is a glycoprotein, not lipoprotein. In females, it is secreted by the corpus luteum while in males it is secreted by Sertoli cells. Inhibin inhibits FSH production from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. Its molecular weight is 10-30 k Dalton.
