  • Melanins and Melanosomes

    Biosynthesis, Structure, Physiological and Pathological Functions

    Edited by Jan Borovansky, Patrick A. Riley ...
    The surface pigmentation of vertebrates is controlled by specialized cells able to synthesize a variety of pigments collectively known as melanins. Recent research has shown that melanins are produced not only in the skin but also in many other sites such as the eye, inner ear, muscles, etc., - where they are engaged in some unanticipated roles. The details of the synthetic pathway, the ... Read more
