Sex‐specific expression of SOX9 during gonadogenesis in the amphibian <i>Xenopus tropicalis</i>
24 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of SOX9 gene in amphibian gonadogenesis, we analyzed its expression during male and female gonadogenesis in Xenopus tropicalis. The results showed that in both sexes SOX9 mRNA and protein were first detectable after metamorphosis when the gonads were well differentiated and remained present until the adult stage. In the testis, SOX9 expression was restricted to the nucleus of Sertoli-like...
