A gene mapping to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome is deleted in a
line of XY female mice mutant for Tdy, and is expressed at a stage during male gonadal
development consistent with its having a role in testis determination. This gene is a member
of a new family of at least five mouse genes, related by an amino-acid motif showing
homology to other known or putative DNA-binding domains.
Abstract
A gene mapping to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome is deleted in a line of XY female mice mutant for Tdy, and is expressed at a stage during male gonadal development consistent with its having a role in testis determination. This gene is a member of a new family of at least five mouse genes, related by an amino-acid motif showing homology to other known or putative DNA-binding domains.
