The 23 pages that link to Melanocyte, each with the reason it gives.

• EpidermisRelated: Melanocytes in the epidermis help protect cell nuclei from ultraviolet radiation.

• MelaninRelated: Melanocytes make melanin and pass pigment to skin cells that display it.

• KeratinocyteRelated: Melanocytes transfer pigment to keratinocytes, helping protect their nuclei from ultraviolet radiation.

• TyrosinaseRelated: Cellular control of tyrosinase abundance and trafficking shapes melanin production.

• EumelaninRelated: These cells make eumelanin in skin and hair follicles.

• AlbinismRelated: Albinism-related gene changes can disrupt melanin synthesis within these cells.

• PheomelaninRelated: Melanocytes synthesize pheomelanin and transfer pigment-containing organelles to neighboring cells.

• ZebraRelated: Melanocytes produce the dark pigment present in zebra stripes.

• Waardenburg syndromeRelated: Abnormal melanocyte development produces the characteristic pigment differences.

• NevusRelated: Melanocytes form the cell population in melanocytic nevi.

• LipizzanRelated: Changes in pigment production help account for the Lipizzan’s progressive graying.

• Human hair colorRelated: Follicular melanocytes supply the pigment incorporated into growing hair shafts.
