Male‐specific expression of <i>Aldh1a1</i> in mouse and chicken fetal testes: Implications for retinoid balance in gonad development
17 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Balanced production and degradation of retinoids is important in regulating development of several organ systems in the vertebrate embryo. Among these, it is known that retinoic acid (RA), and the retinoid-catabolyzing enzyme CYP26B1 together regulate the sex-specific behavior of germ cells in developing mouse gonads. We report here that the gene encoding a cytosolic class-1 aldehyde dehydrogenase, ALDH1A1, a...
