| Pattern | Expressed in sperm and spermatids. | Primary Identifier | Expr3285 |
| Remark | The specificity of antisera was confirmed in three independent ways. (1) Fixed and permeabilized wild-type spermatids failed to stain when the antisera was pre-incubated with competing peptide. (2) Fixed and permeabilized spe-38(eb44) sperm failed to stain. (3) A western blot of wild-type and spe-38(eb44) males revealed a protein of the expected molecular weight in the wild type but not in the mutant sample. | Subcellular Localization | SPE-38 appears to be enriched in large structures near the cell cortex. Identical results were obtained with paraformaldehyde-fixed and permeabilized spermatids. |
