Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) tagged Merlin, endogenously expressed, is highly localized at the apical domain of living wing imaginal disc cells, predominately at the junctional and medial cortex.

The abundance of Kibra protein (green) increases dramatically in somatic mosaic clones of Merlin mutant cells (marked by the absence of RFP-magenta) due to decreased Kibra degradation.
