| Pattern | To investigate the nmr-1 expression pattern, a GFP::NMR-1 translational reporter strain was examined. In dissected gonads, GFP expression is detectable in oocytes and sheath cells of transgenic animals, but not in controls. An identical pattern is observed in VAB-1::GFP-expressing gonads. | Primary Identifier | Expr3782 |
| Subcellular Localization | GFP fluorescence co-localizes with F-actin at the oocyte cortex, and it appears enriched at contact sites between the oocytes. VAB-1 and NMR-1 are expressed at the oocyte surface, where they co-localize with F-actin. |
