Sex-lethal (Sxl) is a gene found in Dipteran insects, named for its mutation phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster (P19339). It is most closely related to the ELAV/HUD subfamily of splicing factors. In fruit flies, this protein participates in alternative splicing of the transformer gene, deciding the sex of the fly. It induces female-specific alternative splicing of the transformer (tra) pre-mRNA by binding to the tra uridine-rich polypyrimidine tract at the non-sex-specific 3' splice site durin
