Sry Gene Summary [Mouse]

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 macromolecule biosynthetic process; positive regulation of male gonad development; and spermatogenesis. 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 complete gonadal dysgenesis; and 46,XY sex reversal 1. Orthologous to human SRY (sex determining region Y).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sry often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
