Which is the peptide that inhibits activin signaling by binding to the receptor?

Which is the peptide that inhibits activin signaling by binding to the receptor? Correct Answer Inhibin

Inhibin is a peptide which inhibits the signaling of activin. This is achieved without activating the phosphorylation of RI by binding to the receptor. Inhibin, a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells in women’s ovaries serves primarily to suppress the anterior pituitary gland’s secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone.

Analysis of a hexapeptide using enzymatic cleavage reveals the following result:
• Amino acid composition of the peptide is: 2R, A, V, S, Y
• Trypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (R, A, V) and (R, S, Y)
• Chymotrypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (A, R, V, Y) and (R, S)
