A form of this protein purified from urine is marketed as Bravelle. Secretion of this molecule is activated by activin and inhibited by inhibin. Granulosa cells, found between the cumulus and the theca, secrete anti-Müllerian hormone to oppose this other hormone. In males, receptors for this protein are only found on Sertoli cells. A low frequency pulse of GnRH enhances production of this protein, since although it does not "surge", its level is maximized on (*) day 14.
