A gene mapping to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome is deleted in a line of XY female mice mutant for Tdy, and is expressed at a stage during male gonadal development consistent with its having a role in testis determination. This gene is a member of a new family of at least five mouse genes, related by an amino-acid motif showing homology to other known or putative DNA-binding domains.
在Tdy突变的XY雌性小鼠品系中,一个定位于小鼠Y染色体性别决定区域的基因被删除,并且在雄性性腺发育的一个阶段表达,这与其在睾丸决定中发挥作用相一致。该基因是一个新家族的成员,这个家族至少有五个小鼠基因,它们通过一个氨基酸基序相关联,该基序与其他已知或推定的DNA结合结构域具有同源性。
