Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr4277 Subcellular Localization  Before polarization, GFP-ECT-2 was distributed uniformly throughout the cortex. After the onset of posterior cortical smoothing (when polarization was initiated), the GFP-ECT-2 signal was locally decreased at the cortex nearest the sperm pronuclei, where the centrosomes are located. As posterior cortical smoothing progressed in phase I, the cortical region that was depleted of GFP-ECT-2 expanded anteriorly and as the pronuclei migrated, GFP-ECT-2 signals were gradually recovered at the posterior cortical region. This exclusion of GFP-ECT-2 was not caused by an artifact of association of the sperm pronuclei with the cortex as the plasma membrane marker GFP-PHPLC1delta1 did not exhibit local exclusion during this stage.
