Function
Binds directly to activin and functions as an activin antagonist. Inhibits activin A signaling in the iris and regulates somatostatin phenotype in ciliary ganglion neurons. Specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Ciliary ganglion neurons. Levels are higher in the iris than the choroid
