WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2673

• Pattern: SPE-39 is distributed throughout the whole testis of a dpy-11 male (used as wild-type control), and there is no obvious abundance difference between the distal or proximal regions of this organ.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2673
• Subcellular Localization: SPE-39 staining shows a diffuse distribution in the cytoplasm in both wild-type spermatocytes and spermatids. In wild-type spermatocytes at the budding stage, SPE-39 staining is observed in both residual bodies and budding spermatids, but staining is stronger in the residual bodies than in the spermatids. In wild-type spermatids, staining of SPE-39 is concentrated in the center of the cytoplasm and diminished in the cytoplasmic cortex, where the MOs are located. Neither spe-39(eb9) nor spe-39(tx12) shows detectable staining for SPE-39 in either their spermatocytes or their spermatids.
