[athrocyte]
This cell type is found in some insect species as pericardial cells or peritracheal cells. These cells are thought to be involved in protein degradation and phagocytosis (Owa et al, 2006, 2008, 2010) and also function like podocytes with a filtration slit diaphragm (Weavers et al, 2009). In many publications athrocytes are being referred to also as nephrocytes.
