Immunolocalization of GLTx in a bisected G. tridactyla pharynx. Confocal maximum projection. Arrows indicate GLTx-IR staining. Anti-GLTx staining is restricted to clear defined lobate structures. From these pharyngeal lobes, the GLTx is transported through a network of duct-like structures (which we refer to as ducts) directly to the teeth, and squeezed out through a series of pores. dl, duct-like structures; lb, part of the lobes; th, teeth. Scale bar: 100 μm
