Female-specific protein transformer is a protein that in Drosophila melanogaster is encoded by the tra gene. Unlike the related tra2 protein, it is only produced in females.
The transformer protein controls female somatic sexual differentiation.[2][3] The protein contains an RNA recognition motif. It controls the alternative splicing of the fly sex determination gene doublesex.[1]
