Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  3-fold embryo staining first detected in M blast cell after it had finished its posterior migration. hlh-8::gfp detected after hatching in a set of rectum-associated cells that appeared to be defecation-associated muscles (this required full-length hlh-8 genomic fragment). During larval development hlh-8::gfp detected in M cell and all undifferentiated descendants of M. This expression was lost as cells differentiated into body wall or sex muscles. Expression was maintained in the two M derived coelomocytes throughout adult life. L2 expression was seen in all four non-M-derived embryonic coelomocytes. Expression was detected in embryonic coelomocytes after the birth of both postembryonic M-derived coelomocytes. Expression also observed in head cells, likely to be neuronal. hlh-8::lacZ fusion with addition 5' sequences showed reporter activity in coelomocytes. Expression in all these cells were nuclear localized both with gfp and lacZ. Primary Identifier  Expr607

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. coelomocyte   WBbt:0005751
