[Expression characteristics of the Daxx gene in the mouse testis during spermatogenesis].

Objective: To investigate the expression characteristic of the Daxx gene in the mouse testis and its role in spermatogenesis.

Methods: Real-time PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence were used in examining the expression characteristics of DAXX in the testis tissue from wild-type, Sertoli cell-specific androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) and androgen receptor knockout (ARKO) mice at different postnatal weeks .

Results: The Daxx gene was highly expressed in the testis tissue and mainly in the nuclei of the wild-type mice at 4 postnatal weeks.
