41. In SLT a laser is used to selectively target the melanocytes in the trabecular meshwork. 42. Melanoma is a malignant proliferation of melanocytes and the most aggressive type of skin cancer. 43. Many, many animals have eumelanin in their melanocytes or melanophores in skin and scales. 44. Pigment genes are expressed in melanocytes that migrate to the skin surface later in development. 45. This particular cadherin family member is expressed in fibroblasts but not in melanocytes or keratinocytes. 46. PYCR2 as well as PYCR are abundant in melanoma cells but not detected in melanocytes . 47. This reinforces their proposal that the loss of melanocyte -producing stem cells contributes to graying. 48. The melanin in the skin is produced by melanocytes , which are found in the epidermis. 49. There are in addition populations of cells producing somatostatin, angiotensin II and melanocyte stimulating hormone. 50. In melanocytes Rab27 binds the melanosome.
