Genetic Analyses Reveal Functions for MAP2K3 and MAP2K6 in Mouse Testis Determination1
24 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Testis determination in mammals is initiated by expression of SRY in somatic cells of the embryonic gonad. Genetic analyses in the mouse have revealed a requirement for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in testis determination: targeted loss of the kinases MAP3K4 and p38 MAPK causes complete XY embryonic gonadal sex reversal. These kinases occupy positions at the top and bottom level,...
