Biology of melanocyte - Professor Torello Lotti, MD - University G.Marconi, Rome, Italy - and Linda Tognetti, MD - Department of Dermatologic Sciences University of Florence, Italy
Although almost everyone has the same amount of melanocytes, the amount and size of the melanosomes and melanin particles produced can differ immensely in humans, resulting in the different races of the world. Dendritic prolongations take contact with nearby keratinocytes, and serve as melanosomes carriers.

11. In human epidermic, melanocyte rside on the basement membrane, at the epidermal–dermal junction, and they form a close association with keratinocytes via their dendrites - Melanocyte of the epidermis -
12. Each melanocyte makes contact with around 30-40 keratinocytes. This constitutes the epidermal-melanin unit. Epidermal Melanin Unit 36 K KLM Unit 53 K - Melanocyte of the epidermis -
13. - Melanocyte of the epidermis - Immunohistochemical analysis : melanocytes are identified by using the marker D5, which stains the nuclear transcription factor. Haematoxylin and eosin stain of human skin: normal melanocytes have smaller nuclei and inconspicuous cytoplasm compared with the surrounding keratinocytes.

15. Longevity and resistance to apoptosis make melanocytes vulnerable to mutations that arise over the years, particularly due to sun exposure, and might culminate in melanoma formation in high-risk individuals. .

30. Eumelanin is a nitrogenous and insoluble pigment. Pheomelanin is a sulfur-containing and alkali-soluble pigment. EUMELANIN VS PHEOMELANIN Pheomelanin and eumelanin differ not only in colour but also in the size, shape and packaging of their granules.
31.
32. Both melanins derive from a common tyrosinase-dependent pathway with the same precursor, tyrosine. The obligatory step is hydroxylation of tyrosine to dopaquinone, (DQ) from which L-DOPA can also be derived. From DQ, the two pathways diverge. EUMELANIN VS PHEOMELANIN Pheomelanin is derived from conjugation by thiol-containing cysteine or glutathione. It is more photolabile and can produce, among its by-products, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. . Land, E. J. & Riley, P. A.

41. Melanosomes are formed from two sources: - In the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER), pre-melanosomes are produced by coalescence of vesicles, and appear to contain parallel filamentous contents. - In the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) and Golgi complex, tyrosinase and other enzymes are synthesised and packaged into vesicles. Melanosomes synthesis These fuse with the pre-melanosomes.
45. Once in keratinocytes, melanosomes are distributed and -in response to UVR- positioned strategically over the ‘sun-exposed’ side of nuclei, to form cap-like structures resembling umbrellas.
