Changes of melanosome morphology associated with the differentiation of epidermal melanocytes in slaty mice.

Anatomical record (Hoboken, N.J. : 2007) - 1 Aug 2007

Hirobe Tomohisa, Abe Hiroyuki

Abstract excerpt

The slaty (Dct(slt)) mutation is known to reduce the activity of dopachrome tautomerase, which converts dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid in the pathway of eumelanin synthesis and to inhibit melanosome maturation in melanocytes. However, it is not known whether the inhibition of...
