| Pattern | MEG-1 first localizes to P granules at the 4- to 8-cell stage after P2 is born, remains on P granules through subsequent P cell divisions, and begins to fade when Z2 and Z3 are born at the 100-cell stage. MEG-1 was not detected in the adult germline or in any somatic tissues. Additionally, meg-1(vr10) and meg-1(vr11) embryos fail to stain with the MEG-1 antibody. | Primary Identifier | Expr7959 |
| Remark | Picture: Figure 4. | Subcellular Localization | MEG-1 is detectable only in the embryonic P lineage and only in structures that costain with anti-PGL-1, indicating that they are P granules. |
