Expression of a candidate sex-determining gene during mouse testis differentiation.

abstract：:Retinoid X receptor (RXR) plays a central role in the regulation of many intracellular receptor signalling pathways and can mediate ligand-dependent transcription, acting as a homodimer or as a heterodimer. Here we identify an antagonist towards RXR homodimers which also functions as an agonist when RXR is paired as a...
