MIG-17::GFP is distributed evenly with moderate intensity along the gonad basement membrane in wild-type animals. In many
mig-6(
ev700) class-s mutant animals, MIG-17::GFP is distributed unevenly along the surface of the gonad, with high expression of the protein concentrated at variable places along the gonad arms. In some but not all cross-sections of
mig-6(s) mutant animals, regions of abnormally high interspersed with regions of abnormally low expression are observed in spaces between gonad and body muscle bands or hypodermis.
