Editing Sertoli cell (section)

===Secretory===
Sertoli cells secrete the following substances:
* [[anti-Müllerian hormone]] (AMH), secreted during the early stages of [[fetus|fetal]] life
* [[inhibin]] and [[activin]]s, secreted after puberty, work together to regulate [[Follicle-stimulating hormone|FSH]] secretion
* [[androgen-binding protein]] (also called testosterone-binding globulin) increases testosterone concentration in the seminiferous tubules to lightly stimulate spermatogenesis
* [[estradiol]] - an [[aromatase]] converts [[testosterone]] to 1,7-beta-estradiol to direct [[spermatogenesis]]
* [[ERM transcription factor|ETS Related Molecule or ERM transcription factor]] is needed for maintenance of the [[spermatogonial stem cell]]s in the adult testis
* [[transferrin]], a blood plasma protein for iron ion delivery<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Xiong X, Wang A, Liu G, Liu H, Wang C, Xia T, Chen X, Yang K | title = Effects of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene on the expressions of transferrin and androgen-binding protein in rat Sertoli cells | journal = Environmental Research | volume = 101 | issue = 3 | pages = 334–9 | date = July 2006 | pmid = 16380112 | doi = 10.1016/j.envres.2005.11.003 | bibcode = 2006ER....101..334X }}</ref>
