Term Information

Accession: GO:0043277
Name: apoptotic cell clearance
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: apoptotic cell removal, efferocytosis, programmed cell clearance
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The recognition and removal of an apoptotic cell by a neighboring cell or by a phagocyte. Source: PMID:14685684, GOC:rk
Comment: Note that unlike mammals or Drosophila, C. elegans (and many lower organisms) do not have professional macrophages/phagocytes, instead cell corpses are engulfed by neighboring cells. Cell types that can function as engulfing cells include hypodermal cells, gonadal sheath cells, pharyngeal muscle cells, and intestinal cells.
