Germ cell-specific transcriptional regulation is essential to understand pathways that confer
germ cells their unique biology. Germ cell-specific transcription factors such as Figla and
Nobox are critical in oogenesis, while Zfp148 and Taf4b are also critical in spermatogenesis.
Identification and characterization of the full complement of germ cell-specific transcription
factors is necessary to understand germ cell-specific regulatory networks. Here, we describe
a discovery of a novel spermatogenesis-and oogenesis-specific basic helix–loop–helix …
