Background
DMRT1, also named as DMT1, belongs to the DMRT family. DMRT1 is one of the most conserved transcription factors in a variety of species and is involved in sex determination and germ cell differentiation. DMRT1 prevents sexual switch from male to female, represses pluripotency, and balances mitosis versus meiosis. DMRT1 also maintains spermatogenesis and replenishes mGSCs by collaborating with Plzf and Sal-like protein 4.
