Sex development in zebrafish is highly plastic, making this species an ideal model for investigation of endocrine disruption and gonadal development and function. However, the hormonal regulation of these processes in zebrafish is poorly understood. We have used a model of androgen and glucocorticoid deficiency to explore these processes. In humans, ferredoxin (FDX1) is an electron-providing cofactor required for steroid biosynthesis. The zebrafish homologue of FDX1, ...
