WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1043

• Pattern: FOG-2 is detected uniformly throughout the germline of L1, L2 and L3 larvae. In dissected gonads from L4 and young adult hermaphrodites and males, FOG-2 accumulates in proliferating and meiotic prophase germ cells with the amount of protein decreasing in late gametogenesis such that it is not observed in sperm or in full grown oocytes. FOG-2 was not detected in somatic cells of larvae or somatic tissue liberated in gonad dissections.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1043
• Subcellular Localization: FOG-2 accumulates exclusively in the cytoplasm.
