Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The strongest expression of PITR-1::GFP was in the germ-line, with clear labeling of the plasma membrane of all germ cells, from the distal tip to the oocyte closest to the spermatheca in adults, with apparent continuous labeling of developing germ cells at all larval stages. PITR-1::GFP on the surface of oocytes appeared to be internalized and degraded shortly after ovulation, similar to other oocyte- expressed transmembrane proteins such as RME-2. Expression of PITR-1::GFP was also observed in the pharynx and head muscles, including muscle arms, of larvae and adults. Weak labeling of body wall muscles outside of the head was apparent in larvae but not adults. No clear labeling of the intestine by PITR-1::GFP was visible. Primary Identifier  Expr13001
