Phenotype
| [Draper BW] Maternal effect lethal mutation which results in the four AB granddaughters of the eight cell stage embryo following a pattern of development nearly identical to the posterior blastomere MS. This results in embryos which produce excess muscle and pharynx. |

Provisional_description
| The mex-1 gene encodes a CCCH-type zinc-finger protein that is required maternally for segregation of P granules, germ cell formation, and somatic cell differentiation in the early embryo; mex-1 is expressed cytoplasmically in germ line blastomeres and is required for restricting PIE-1 expression and function to these cells; mex-1 RNA is also found transiently in association with P granules. |

| | | | mex-1 is believed to function as a link between cortical polarity established by the par genes and subsequent differential segregation of cytoplasmic determinants. |
