SMART: Pfam domain Apis

Apis_Csd

PFAM accession number:	PF11671
Interpro abstract (IPR021007):	Sex determination proteins are found in eukaryotes. Proteins in this family are typically between 168 and 410 amino acids in length. It plays a role in the gender determination of around 20% of all animals. In the honeybee, the mechanism of sex determination depends on the complementary sex determiner (csd) gene which produces an SR-type protein. Males are homozygous while females are homozygous for the csd gene. Heterozygosity generates an active protein which initiates female development [ (PUBMED:15382141) ]. This entry represents the C-terminal end of the sex determination protein.
