Melanocytes]Noun. A mature melanin-forming cell within the skin.

Healthy melanocyte cells produce dark melanin pigment responsible for photo-protection. Melanin serves powerful functions in the body, hair and skin color is determined by cellular activity at melanocortin receptors. With conditions like albinism in people, for example, cells are present, but no activity is exerted and no pigment production happens.

In addition to being found in the skin, melanocytes are present in the brain, ear, stomach and eye among other locations. The melanocortins produce melanin in response to environmental cues, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation and research chemicals. Potent melanocyte stimulating-hormone melanin travels to the surface tissue where most benefit is offered. Synthetic potent analogs MT2, MT-1 peptide hormones are safe when used by researchers.
