K10 transport/localisation element (TLS)

The K10 transport/localisation element (TLS) is a 44 nucleotide K10 TLS regulatory element from Drosophila melanogaster. K10 TLS is responsible for the transport and anterior localisation of K10 mRNA and acts to establish dorsoventral polarity in the oocyte.[1][2] It was discovered by Julia Serano.
