ZFY
Zinc finger Y-chromosomal protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFY gene.[2][3]
This gene encodes a zinc finger-containing protein that may function as a transcription factor. This gene was once a candidate gene for the testis-determining factor (TDF) and was erroneously referred to as TDF.[3]
