AMH
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
A glycoprotein hormone produced by ovarian follicles in females and Sertoli cells in males. Primary marker of ovarian reserve and female fertility potential.
Mechanism of Action
AMH binds to AMHR2 receptors, inhibiting follicle recruitment and modulating FSH sensitivity. In males, it causes regression of Müllerian ducts during fetal development.
