Adrenal and Gonad Early Development
The key events of molecular development of steroidogenic tissues in mice are shown in this cartoon. Dax-1 function in sex determination is still unclear.
- male sex - SRY, SOX9, NR5A1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5, Group A, Member 1; SF-1), NR0B1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 0, Group B, Member 1; Dax-1)
- female sex - WNT4 (Wingless-Type Mmtv Integration Site Family, Member 4), NR0B1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 0, Group B, Member 1; Dax-1), XIST
NR5A1 - Steroidogenic Factor 1
- NR5A1 - Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5, Group A, Member 1; Ad4BP (Adrenal 4 Binding Protein) or SF-1 (Steroidogenic Factor 1)
- 53 kDa protein
- classical DNA-binding domain (DBD) characterized by two Cys2-Cys2 zinc fingers in the N-terminal region
- SF-1 binds DNA as a monomer
- high homology with the drosophila Ftz-F1 transcription factor that controls fushi tarazu homeotic gene expression
OMIM: NR5A1 - Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5, Group A, Member 1
