    protein
  • interacting with CTNNB1 (mediates AMH signaling for Müllerian duct regression during male sexual differentiation)
  • GDF9 and BMP15 and FSH Regulate AMH expression via modulation of H3K27AC in granulosa cells
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by BMP6, in granulosa cells

    constitutional     --low  
    in primordial and transitional follicles in ovaries from anovulatory women with polycystic ovaries
    constitutional     --over  
    high AMH levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome may contribute to their aberrant follicle selection
    constitutional     --low  
    lower in the SRY-negative XX testes than in XY testes
    constitutional     --over  
    in oligomenorrheic girls, suggest increased antral follicle number similar to that observed in girls with PCOS
