CELE_K02B9.2, K02B9.2

meg-2 encodes a novel protein that localizes exclusively to P granules; originally identified by microarray analyses of germline-enriched transcripts, loss of meg-2 activity by itself results in no obvious abnormalities, but loss of meg-2 activity in meg-1 mutant animals indicates that meg-1 and meg-2 likely have redundant functions in germline development; meg-2 may also function redundantly with mes-1; meg-2 expression in the proximal germline is positively regulated by MPK-1, the C. elegans MAP kinase ortholog; a GFP::MEG-2 fusion protein localizes exclusively to P granules in the embryonic germ cell lineage.
