Abstract excerpt
Müllerian-inhibiting substance (MIS) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) gene family. MIS expression in males causes the regression of the Müllerian ducts, an essential process in male sexual differentiation. Recently, an MIS type II receptor gene has been isolated that is expressed during embryogenesis in mesenchymal cells adjacent to the Müllerian duct epithelium and in Sertoli and...
