Function | Transcription factor that plays a key role in male sex determination and differentiation by controlling testis development and male germ cell proliferation. Plays a central role in spermatogonia by inhibiting meiosis in undifferentiated spermatogonia and promoting mitosis, leading to spermatogonial development and allowing abundant and continuous production of sperm. Acts both as a transcription repressor and activator: prevents meiosis by restricting retinoic acid (RA)-dependent transcription and repressing STRA8 expression and promotes spermatogonial development by activating spermatogonial differentiation genes, such as SOHLH1. Also plays a key role in postnatal sex maintenance by maintaining testis determination and preventing feminization: represses transcription of female promoting genes such as FOXL2 and activates male-specific genes. May act as a tumor suppressor. May also play a minor role in oogenesis (By similarity). |

Background
This gene is found in a cluster with two other members ofthe gene family, having in common a zinc finger-like DNA-bindingmotif (DM domain). The DM domain is an ancient, conserved componentof the vertebrate sex-determining pathway that is also a keyregulator of male development in flies and nematodes. This geneexhibits a gonad-specific and sexually dimorphic expressionpattern. Defective testicular development and XY feminization occurwhen this gene is hemizygous.
