| Pattern | YFP-ERA- 1[3'era-1] protein can be detected starting from the 10 cell stage solely in descendants of the anterior blastomere AB. YFP-ERA- 1[3'era-1] is distributed uniformly in the zygote and becomes enriched in the AB cell, an anterior bias that becomes more pronounced in 4-cell stage embryos. Intriguingly, YFP-ERA-1[3'era-1] is slightly enriched on the cell cortex, something that is most apparent at the boundary between anterior blastomeres, raising the possibility that ERA-1 is a cortical protein. | Primary Identifier | Expr12268 |
| Subcellular Localization | YFP-ERA-1[3'era-1] is slightly enriched on the cell cortex, something that is most apparent at the boundary between anterior blastomeres, raising the possibility that ERA-1 is a cortical protein. |
