The immunogen is a synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human DMRT1
Alternative Synonym:
DMT1, CT154
The gene encodes the DMRT1 protein is found in a cluster with two other members of the gene family, having in common a zinc finger-like DNA-binding motif (DM domain). The DM domain is an ancient, conserved component of the vertebrate sex-determining pathway that is also a key regulator of male development in flies and nematodes. This gene exhibits a gonad-specific and sexually dimorphic expression pattern. Defective testicular development and XY feminization occur when this gene is hemizygous. This suggested that DMRT1 may be required for testis development.This gene is found in a cluster with two other members of the gene family, having in common a zinc finger-like DNA-binding motif (DM domain).
