<i>Sox9</i> in Testis Determination
1 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Sox9 is an Sry-box-containing gene that encodes a transcriptional activator. During mouse gonadogenesis, Sox9 is detected in the male gonad at 11.5 days postcoitus (dpc). At 12.5 dpc, testicular cords form, morphologically distinguishing the male gonad from the ovary. From this stage onwards, Sox9 expression is restricted to the Sertoli cell lineage and persists in the adult. Humans with heterozygous mutations in...
