Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity, bending and DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in male gonad development and male sex determination. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XX sex reversal 1; 46,XY sex reversal; and 46,XY sex reversal 1. Orthologous to human SRY (sex determining region Y). PHENOTYPE: Variations in expression of alleles on specific backgrounds result in partial and/or complete male to female sex reversal. Deletion of alleles results in XY females.
