WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13375

• Pattern: The CED-3::GFP translational reporter was expressed mostly in embryos and the adult germline. In embryos, we often found an enrichment of GFP signal within the apoptotic corpses compared with the surrounding cells. In the germline, CED-3::GFP was expressed primarily in the oocyte region, with very weak to no expression in the mitotic and early meiotic zones.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13375
• Subcellular Localization: In oocytes, CED-3::GFP showed a significant enrichment in the nuclei, whereas, in the rest of the germline, we observed an accumulation of GFP signal in the perinuclear region.
