Fgf9 and Wnt4 act as antagonistic signals to regulate mammalian sex determination.

Fgf9 and Wnt4 act as antagonistic signals to regulate mammalian sex determination.

The genes encoding members of the wingless-related MMTV integration site (WNT) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families coordinate growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation in many fields of cells during development. In the mouse, Fgf9 and Wnt4 are expressed in gonads of both sexes prior to sex...
