Location
Enriched in the mitochondrial cloud of stage I oocytes; before becoming concentrated at the tip of the vegetal cortex in stage II oocytes. Expression becomes localized to the germ plasm of stage III-IV oocytes and early cleavage stages. At the tailbud stage; localizes to the migrating primordial germ cells (PGCs) until PGC migration is complete (stage 40); at which point. In the adult; expressed in the brain; ovary; eye; muscle; spinal cord and very weakly in adipocytes expression disappears
