| | Mutations in Rat Coat Color |
 | | In humans as in mice and rats, TYRP1 catalyzes eumelanin synthesis, but in humans it may have additional roles, such as maintaining the stability of tyrosinase and modulating its activity. | | | By and large, I have tried to steer clear of rat standards and "official" color names, and have instead focused on my area of interest: the biology of pigmentation. | | | They also become integral parts of other organs such as the eye, inner ear, and other neural systems (Figure 1). |

| | Melanocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This fact also means that a cancer of a melanocyte, a melanoma, will spread (metastasize) very easily. | | | The skin will then be darker when the keratinocytes which have been filled with melanin move toward the skin surface. | | | This is completely different to the surrounding skin cells (keratinocytes) and means that all melanocytes had the capacity to migrate widely in the embryo. |

| | Melanocyte definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms |
| | Tanning of the skin due to UV exposure represents an increase in the content of eumelanin within the epidermis and its major purpose is increased photoprotection. | | | Leukoderma in association with inflammatory disorders of the skin such as atopic dermatitis and vitiligo are two of the more common disorders of hypopigmentation. | | | The failure of melanocytes to migrate to these locations explains the association of congenital white spotting of the skin (piebaldism) with heterochromia (the juxtaposition of different colors) in the iris as well as congenital deafness in Waardenburg syndrome. |

| | Tried and failed standard medical therapies for vitiligo including at least a full course of topical steroids and ultraviolet light therapy, or | | | Melanocyte transplantation is NOT first-line therapy for vitiligo. | | | The idea is simple: remove melanocytes from an unaffected portion of skin and transfer the cells to skin that has no melanocytes. |

| | CND: Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone |
| | Because MSH are so closely aligned with our skin, it's no surprise that it is surprising to find that one of the MSH, alpha-MSH, apparently plays a critical role in the ability of our gut to function properly. | | | Clusters of melanocytes may occur on the skin, called moles. | | | MSH are also found in the brain where they may play a signaling role. |

| | NEL, The actions of melanin and melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) |
| | Melanin, the major product of the melanocyte, is largely responsible for the coloring of skin. | | | Melanocytes express numerous receptors that allow interaction with other cells in their microenvironment, including keratinocytes and the immune component of the skin Langerhans cells. | | | The skin, the largest organ of the body, plays an important role in the total metabolism of several hormones. |

| | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | They stimulate the production and release of melanin (melanogenesis) by melanocytes in skin and hair. | | | MSH is also produced by a subpopulation of neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. | | | The melanocyte-stimulating hormones (collectively referred to as MSH) are a class of peptide hormones produced by cells in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. |

| | Melanocyte stem cells are found in the bulge area, the part of the hair follicle's outer root sheath where the arrector pili muscle attaches. | | | The work demonstrates that stem cell progeny can migrate out of occupied niches and repopulate vacant ones, which then play a dominant role in maintaining them as stem cells. | | | Dominant role of the niche in melanocyte stem-cell fate determination |
