WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2218

• Pattern: By immunocytochemistry, GLD-2 was found to be predominantly cytoplasmic in both germ line and early embryo. Within the germ line, GLD-2 was detectable in the mitotic region and became abundant during pachytene and oogenesis. GLD-2 decreased during spermatogenesis in both sexes, and was undetectable in mature sperm. In early embryos, GLD-2 was diffuse in the cytoplasm of early P0 embryos, co-localized with P granules in late P0 embryos and remained associated with P granules in germline blastomeres. In 100-cell embryos, GLD-2 was undetectable.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2218
• Subcellular Localization: cytoplasmic and colocalized with P granules.
