Spatial expression patterns of CasAQP-1 in various tissues except for ovary of a juvenile female C. sapidus . Each tissue cDNA containing 12.5 ng of total RNA equivalent was amplified by an end-point PCR assay, while AK with a 350 bp amplicon served as a reference gene. 1 = eyestalk ganglia; 2 = brain; 3 = thoracic ganglia complex; 4 = hindgut; 5 = hepatopancreas; 6 = Y-organs; 7 = gill; 8 = antennal gland; 9 = abdominal muscle; 10 = hypodermis; 11 = heart; 12 = hemocytes; 13 = ovary.
