<i>Xenopus</i> W-Linked DM-W Induces <i>Foxl2</i> and <i>Cyp19</i> Expression during Ovary Formation
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms of vertebrate ZZ/ZW-type sex-determining systems remain unclear. We recently indicated that a W-linked gene, <i>DM-W</i> is a likely ovary-determining gene in <i>Xenopus laevis</i>. We first examined whether <i>Cyp19</i> for estrogen-synthesizing enzyme P450 aromatase and <i>Foxl2</i> showed female-specific expression in developing gonads....
