Overexpression of Aromatase Alone is Sufficient for Ovarian Development in Genetically Male Chicken Embryos

28 Jun 2013

Abstract excerpt

Estrogens play a key role in sexual differentiation of both the gonads and external traits in birds. The production of estrogen occurs via a well-characterised steroidogenic pathway, which is a multi-step process involving several enzymes, including cytochrome P450 aromatase. In chicken embryos, the aromatase gene (CYP19A1) is expressed female-specifically from the time of gonadal sex differentiation. To further...
