SRY Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA

Transcriptional regulator that controls a genetic switch in male development. It is necessary and sufficient for initiating male sex determination by directing the development of supporting cell precursors (pre-Sertoli cells) as Sertoli rather than granulosa cells (By similarity) . In male adult brain involved in the maintenance of motor functions of dopaminergic neurons (By similarity) . Involved in different aspects of gene regulation including promoter activation or repression (By similarity) . Promotes DNA bending. SRY HMG box recognizes DNA by partial intercalation in the minor groove. Also involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-[AT]AACAA[AT]-3'.

Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Acetylation contributes to its nuclear localization and deacetylation by HDAC3 induces a cytoplasmic delocalization (PubMed:15297880) . Colocalizes with SOX6 in speckles (PubMed:11818535) . Colocalizes with CAML in the nucleus (PubMed:15746192) . Colocalizes in the nucleus with ZNF208 isoform KRAB-O and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) (By similarity) .
