人类Y染色体的性别决定区包含一个基因ZFY,它编码一种锌指蛋白。ZFY可能被证明是睾丸决定因素。在人类X染色体上有一个密切相关的基因ZFX。在大多数种类的胎盘哺乳动物中,我们检测到两个ZFY相关基因座:一个在Y染色体上,一个在X染色体上。然而,在小鼠中有四个ZFY同源基因座:Zfy-1和Zfy-2定位于小鼠Y染色体的性别决定区,Zfx位于小鼠X染色体上,第四个基因座是常染色体的。
The sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome contains a gene, ZFY, that encodes a zinc-finger protein. ZFY may prove to be the testis-determining factor. There is a closely related gene, ZFX, on the human X chromosome. In most species of placental mammals, we detect two ZFY-related loci: one on the Y chromosome and one on the X chromosome. However, there are four ZFY-homologous loci in mouse: Zfy-1 and Zfy-2 map to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome, Zfx is on the mouse X chromosome, and a fourth locus is autosomal.
