WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16101

• Pattern: FLP-18::Venus fluorescence was observed in the RIM and AVA escape circuit neurons, as well as the AIY and RIG. FLP-18::Venus fluorescence was also observed in the coelomocytes, in contrast to a Pflp-18::GFP transcriptional reporter which did not produce detectable coelomocyte fluorescence. This is consistent with the idea that FLP-18::Venus protein is secreted and taken up by coelomocytes, which are endocytic scavenger cells that internalize material from the pseudocoelomic fluid.

Amphid interneuron	AIYR	lineage name: ABprpapaaap	WBbt:0003961
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
