WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14906

• Primary Identifier: Expr14906
• Subcellular Localization: We expressed Venus-tagged NLP-12 in PVD. This transgene yielded punctate fluorescence signals throughout the dendrites and axon of PVD. We were able to consistently detect Venus fluorescence in coelomocytes, cells that can provide a readout of neuropeptide secretion because of their scavenging function (Ch'ng et al., 2008; Sieburth et al., 2007), indicating that NLP-12 can be secreted by PVD.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
