The factor TDF. That as its name indicates, when it acts on gonads (generic word; structure that ends up developing either in female or male sexual organs). When there's that Y chromosome with that gene SRY that produces TDF, the gonads end up transforming into testicles. In those testicles we find these three elements that we are going to talk about now. A pair of cells from the testicles and an enzyme that is in the testicles as well. It is mainly there, although we also find a little in the adrenal cortex (in very few quantities). Now we will focus on these two testicular cells. This is gonna happen
