Functional analysis of <i>Sox8</i> and <i>Sox9</i> during sex determination in the mouse
5 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Sex determination in mammals directs an initially bipotential gonad to differentiate into either a testis or an ovary. This decision is triggered by the expression of the sex-determining gene Sry, which leads to the activation of male-specific genes including the HMG-box containing gene Sox9. From transgenic studies in mice it is clear that Sox9 is sufficient to induce testis formation. However, there is no...
