INHBE (Inhibin Subunit Beta E) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate an inhibin beta subunit. INHBE was identified as a novel putative hepatokine with hepatic gene expression that positively correlated with insulin resistance and body mass index in humans. The quantitative real time-PCR analysis also showed an increase in INHBE gene expression in independent liver samples from insulin-resistant human subjects. INHBE functions as a possible hepatokine to alter the whole-body metabolic status under obese insulin-resistant conditions. Diseases associated with INHBE include Brachydactyly, Type A2, and Liver Benign Neoplasm.
