Assay
Reference: J:56269 Chen A, et al., NIMA-related kinases: isolation and characterization of murine nek3 and nek4 cDNAs, and chromosomal localization of nek1, nek2 and nek3. Gene. 1999 Jun 24;234(1):127-37
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3841213
Gene symbol: Nek4
Gene name: NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related expressed kinase 4
Probe: Nek4 probe1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Visualized with: Autoradiography
Assay notes: Authors state that two probes were used for in situ hybridization and both showed essentially identical patterns. The probe used for this assay was not detailed; for details about the other possible probe see MGI:3841209.
Results
Specimen 5A,B: postnatal day 17 (more )
Note: This pair of images represents a bright-field and dark-field view.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: seminiferous tubule Present Regionally restricted 5A , 5B Expression was detected in most of the tubules at a low level. Some of the tubules express much higher levels.

Specimen 5C,D: postnatal day 21 (more )
Note: This pair of images represents a bright-field and dark-field view.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: seminiferous tubule Strong Regionally restricted 5C , 5D Expression was high in most of the seminiferous tubules.

Specimen 5E,F: postnatal adult (more )
Note: This pair of images represents a bright-field and dark-field view.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: seminiferous tubule Strong Widespread 5F , 5E High levels of expression are seen in all of the tubules.

Specimen 5G,H: postnatal adult (more )
Note: This pair of images represents a bright-field and dark-field view.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spermatocyte Present Regionally restricted 5H , 5G Expression was present in pachytene spermatocytes.
TS28: spermatid Present Regionally restricted 5H , 5G Expression was detected in round spermatids but not in inner elongated spermatids.
TS28: Leydig cell Leydig cell Absent 5G , 5H

Specimen not shown: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spermatozoon Absent Expression was not found in spermatozoa stored in the epididymis.
