Rac and Rho: The Story Behind Melanocyte Dendrite Formation

5 Sept 2002

Abstract excerpt

Melanocyte dendrites are hormonally responsive actin and microtubule containing structures whose primary purpose is to transport melanosomes to the dendrite tip. Melanocyte dendrites have been an area of intense interest for melanocyte biologists, but it was not until recently that we began to understand the mechanisms underlying their formation. In contrast with melanogenesis, for which numerous mutations in...
