crustin-positive hemocyte PMID: 40750028

Definition (free text, with reference(s), please. PubMed ID format is PMID:XXXXXX)
A hemocyte subtype in penaeid shrimp, characterized by high expression of crustin-family antimicrobial peptide transcripts. crustin hemocyte function in antimicrobial peptide production and arthropod-specific immune processes such as melanization and coagulation. (PMID: 40750028, 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2026.744306)

Parent cell type term (check the hierarchy here https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/cl)
hemocyte (CL:0000387)

Anatomical structure where the cell type is found (check Uberon for anatomical structures: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/uberon)
UBERON:0001011 hemolymph (found in but not exclusive to, i think you can follow the logic for parent term hemocyte)

Your ORCID

Additional notes or concerns
add taxon constraint: NCBITaxon:6685 Penaeidae (or could keep it more general like NCBITaxon:6683 Decapoda)

Preferred term label
TGase hemocyte

Synonyms (add reference(s), please)
TGase-positive hemocyte PMID: 40750028
transglutaminase-positive hemocyte PMID: 40750028

Definition (free text, with reference(s), please. PubMed ID format is PMID:XXXXXX)
A hemocyte subtype in penaeid shrimp, characterized by high expression of hemocyte transglutaminase genes (TGase1, TGase). TGase hemocytes play a role in hemolymph coagulation, and likely represent an earlier, progenitor-like stage of hemocyte differentiation.
