amoeboid microglia

BTO (BRENDA Tissue Ontology) ID

BTO:0005696

Definition

This form of microglial cell is found mainly within the perinatal white matter areas in the corpus callosum known as the Fountains of Microglia. This shape allows the microglial free movement throughout the neural tissue, which allows it to fulfill its role as a scavenger cell. Amoeboid microglia are able to phagocytose debris, but do not fulfill the same antigen-presenting and inflammatory roles as activated microglia. Amoeboid microglia are especially prevalent during the development and rewiring of the brain, when there are large amounts of extracellular debris and apoptotic cells to remove

Synonyms

1. amoeboid microglial cell
