The nuclear steroid receptor-like protein steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1), encoded by the fuschi tarazu factor-1 (Ftzf1) gene, is essential for the development of steroidogenic organs and normal sexual differentiation. We have localized the Ftzf1 gene to the proxiaml part of mouse chromosome 2. Based on previous mapping efforts and synteny between mouse chromosome 2 and human chromosome 9, it is likely that the human homologue FTZF1 gene will localize to human chromosome 9q33-qter. 17 refs., 1 fig.
