SOX9 Regulates Prostaglandin D Synthase Gene Transcription in Vivo to Ensure Testis Development
4 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, male sex is determined by the Y-chromosomal gene Sry (sex-determining region of Y chromosome). The expression of Sry and subsequently Sox9 (SRY box containing gene 9) in precursors of the supporting cell lineage results in the differentiation of these cells into Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells in turn orchestrate the development of all other male-specific cell types. To ensure that Sertoli cells...
