| description | Insulin-like 3 (INSL3) is a secreted protein produced by testicular Leydig cells and in lower amounts by ovarian follicular theca interna cells and the corpus luteum []. It acts as a theca cell-derived growth factor for preantral follicle and its action is mediated by growth differentiation factor 9 []. Signaling through INSL3 and its cognate G protein-coupled receptor RXFP2 is important for testicular descent. It seems to be dispensable for spermatogenesis and fertility in adult males []. |
