Disease relevance of AMH

 

Psychiatry related information on AMH

  • This population is suitable to test the influence of an absence of androgens and Müllerian inhibiting substance on psychosexual development in genetic males [7].
  • Pain thresholds in normal skin were matched only by the response thresholds of CMH and not AMH nociceptors [8].
  • Secretion of AMH begins shortly after testicular differentiation and lasts into the perinatal period; however, the müllerian duct is responsive to AMH only during a short "critical" period at the end of the ambisexual stage [9].
  • The present study was designed to investigate a variety of visual deficits reported by children who experience high levels of visual stress and perceptual distortions when reading (Meares-Irlen syndrome; MIS) and to assess the improvements in visual comfort they report when tinted lenses are worn [10].
  • Psychometric functions also revealed no significant difference between subject groups (control versus MIS) [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of AMH

 

Biological context of AMH

 

Anatomical context of AMH

  • To understand the hierarchies of these factors and their involvement in the developing testis, for the first time we show the expression and subcellular localization of these factors by immunohistochemistry in the early human testis during embryogenesis compared with AMH expression [21].
  • Components of the AMH signaling pathway have been identified in gonads and gonadal cell lines [19].
  • Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) family implicated in the regression of Müllerian ducts in male fetuses and in the development and function of gonads of both sexes [19].
  • In birds, AMH is expressed both in the male and female fetal gonads, and, like in reptiles, its expression is not preceded by that of SOX9 [22].
  • When the hypothalamic-pituitary axis is active and the negative effect of androgens and germ cells is absent, for example, in the fetal and neonatal periods or in disorders like androgen insensitivity, FSH upregulates AMH expression through a nonclassical cAMP-PKA pathway involving transcription factors AP2 and NFkappaB [22].
 

Associations of AMH with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of AMH

 

Other interactions of AMH

  • Our work thus identifies SOX9 as an interaction partner of SF-1 that could be involved in the Sertoli cell-specific expression of AMH during embryogenesis [18].
  • Finally, normal cervical tissue expresses the MIS type II receptor in vivo, supporting the idea that MIS could be a targeted therapy for cervical cancer [2].
  • Our results suggest that MIS is a natural substrate for PC5, thereby supporting a role for prohormone convertases in the activation of transforming growth factor beta-related hormones during development [34].
  • High GATA-4 expression associates with aggressive behavior, whereas low anti-Müllerian hormone expression associates with growth potential of ovarian granulosa cell tumors [35].
  • Furthermore, the over-expression of the exogenous SF-1 inhibited the activation of the MIS promoter with ER alpha [36].
