Abstract:
One essential part of the process of skin pigmentation comprises the production of melanosomes, the melanin-containing organelles, and correct transport towards their target cells, the keratinocytes. In this overview the molecular mechanisms of these processes are discussed in view of a number of pigmentation syndromes.
