Melanosomes Are Specialized Members of the Lysosomal Lineage of Organelles

1 Jul 1995

Abstract excerpt

Melanosomes are specialized subcellular organelles in which melanin is synthesized and deposited. Electron microscopic, cytochemical, genetic, and biochemical evidence all support the contention that melanosomes are specialized lysosomes. The relationship of melanosomes and lysosomes provides a framework in which to understand the pathogenesis of disorders such as the Chediak-Higashi syndrome, allows the testing...
