WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9280

• Pattern: OSM-11 immunoreactivity was detected in coelomocytes, which are endocytic cells that clear secreted proteins from the pseudocoelom. Because the osm-11 promoter does not drive expression in coelomocytes, OSM-11 is likely secreted into the pseudocoelom, diffuses, and accumulates in coelomocytes.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9280

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
