SRY gene

SRY gene
[sex-determining region Y] a mammalian gene, locus Yp11.3, responsible for testis determination; it encodes a transcription factor containing a highly conserved DNA-binding region called an HMG box. It is the only Y chromosome gene needed for sex determination, and mutations are associated with primary sex reversal.
