research More About X-Linked Testicular Feminization of the Mouse as a Noninducible (is) Mutation of a Regulatory Locus: 5α-Androstan-3α-17β-Diol as the True Inducer of Kidney Alcohol Dehydrogenase and β-Glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
