Gurken localisation signal

The Gurken localisation signal is an RNA regulatory element conserved across many species of the fruitfly genus Drosophila. The element consists of a RNA stem loop within the coding region that forms a signal for dynein-mediated Gurken mRNA transport to a cap near the oocyte nucleus.
