The lury-1prom::lury-1::Venus translational reporter produced fluorescent signals in coelomocytes, which are macrophage-like scavenger cells that endocytose proteins secreted into the body cavity (Fares and Greenwald, 2001), as well as in the M1 and M2 neurons. This result implies that the LURY-1 preproprotein is sorted into the secretory pathway and that LURY-1 peptides can reach distant cells.

A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.
