WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr580

• Pattern: Weak GLD-1 staining is present at L1 and L2 in the germ line. At L3, GLD-1 becomes stronger in the presumptive male germ cells of the hermaphrodite. At L4, pachtene male germ cells no longer stain for GLP-1. In the adult hermaphrodite, GLD-1 is nonuniformly distributed along the distal-proximal germ line axis. Staining is weak in the mitotic region. Staining is stronger in the transition to the meiotic region and in the pachytene region, drops off in the diplotene region, and disappears as oocytes are formed. Compare mRNA pattern in Expression pattern 581 and Expression pattern 582 for GLD-1 in males.
• Primary Identifier: Expr580
• Remark: The antibodies recognized both isoforms of GLD-1.
• Subcellular Localization: GLD-1 is a cytoplasmic protein.
