Doublesex- and Mab-3-Related Transcription Factor-1 Repression of Aromatase Transcription, a Possible Mechanism Favoring the Male Pathway in Tilapia
7 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Doublesex- and Mab-3-related transcription factor-1 (Dmrt1) is an important transcription factor implicated in early testicular differentiation in vertebrates, but its target genes are largely unknown. In the Nile tilapia, estrogen is the natural inducer of ovarian differentiation. Our recent studies have shown that Forkhead-l2 up-regulated transcription of the Cyp19a1a gene (aromatase) in the gonads in a...
