WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13294

• Pattern: SUP-26::Flag is ubiquitously expressed and cytoplasmically localized in later stages of embryonic development. In addition to germ cells, SUP-26::FLAG is expressed in the somatic gonad in the distal tip cell (DTC) and the hermaphrodite spermatheca.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13294
• Subcellular Localization: SUP-26::Flag is expressed in the maternal germline and is maternally contributed to early embryos. SUP-26::Flag preferentially localizes to perinuclear bodies by the 24-cell stage; these were confirmed to be germline P granules by costaining with P-granule markers.

an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization.	spermatheca		WBbt:0005319
somatic cell that situates at the tip of a gonad arm.	distal tip cell	DTC	WBbt:0006865
cell line which early in development becomes differentiated from the remaining somatic cell line, and alone has the potential to undergo meiosis and form gametes.	germ line	germline	WBbt:0005784
The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus.	somatic gonad	somatic germline	WBbt:0005785
