Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In adults, glh-1 and glh-2 RNAs are restricted to germ-line tissue. glh-1 RNA is present at all stages of germ-line development in the hermaphrodite gonad, from the distal region where germ cells divide mitotically through the proximal region where gametes mature. A similar pattern of strong glh-1 hybridization to all regions of the germ line is observed in males. The glh-2 message is at least 3-fold less abundant than glh-1 mRNA in the hermaphrodite germ line. The glh-2 signal is weakest in the distal mitotic region and most concentrated in the central meiotic region of the gonad. In addition, glh-2 RNA is barely detectable in males. Both glh-1 and glh-2 RNAs are detected in all cells of young embryos, with the level of hybridization much reduced after the 8- to 10-cell stage. Thus, while glh-1 and glh-2 RNA differ in their levels and their patterns of accumulation in hermaphrodite and male germ lines, both glh RNAs are found throughout the early embryo.
