Subcellular_localization | nrf-5::gfp fluorescence was concentrated at the basal membrane of the intestine. Based on its similarity to secreted lipid binding proteins and the fact that it contains an N-terminal signal sequence, NRF-5 probably is secreted. The concentration of nrf-5::gfp fluorescence at the basal membrane of the intestine suggests that NRF-5 protein is secreted from the intestine into the pseudocoelomic fluid. GFP fluorescence was not observed in the pseudocoelomic fluid itself, however one possibility is that the level of secreted nrf-5::gfp is too low to detect in this manner, particularly against the background of fluorescence from the intestine. | ||

Pattern | GFP fluorescence was observed throughout the entire intestine of transgenic animals expressing this nrf-5::gfp fusion. No GFP expression was observed in any other tissue. Furthermore, the nrf-5::gfp fusion rescued the Nrf and Peg phenotypes of nrf-5 mutants. | ||
