| melanocyte | Special cells in the skin and the eye that synthesise melanin pigments. Clusters of melanocytes often appear on the skin as moles. In fish and reptiles, the pigments are stored in melanosomes (chromatophores) that can be redistributed in the cytoplasm to change pigment patterns. Synonym: melanodendrocyte. Origin: melano-+ G. + kytos, a hollow (cell) (29 Sep 1997) |

| melanocyte-stimulating hormone | <endocrinology> A releasing hormone produced in the mammalian hypophysis and related structures in lower vertebrates. Made up of _ MSH (1665D), the same as amino acids 1-13 of ACTH and _ MSH (18 amino acids, 22 in humans). Causes darkening of the skin by expansion of the melanophores but its role in mammals is unclear. Synonym: melanotropin. Acronym: MSH (22 Sep 2002) |
Synonyms : MSH (Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones), Melanophore-Stimulating Hormone, Melanocyte Stimulating Hormones, Melanophore Stimulating Hormone
Synonyms : Melanocyte

| melanocyte |
any of the dendritic clear cells of the epidermis that synthesize tyrosinase and, within their melanosomes, the pigment melanin; the melanosomes are then transferred from melanocytes to keratinocytes.

| melanocyte-stimulating h. |
a melanotropic peptide secreted by the pituitary glands of certain other animals but not humans; it is derived from pro-opiomelanocortin. Types are designated α, β, and γ1 to γ3; α-MSH and β-MSH are released by the pars intermedia of the adenohypophysis in fish and amphibians. The acylated forms cause dispersion of pigment granules of melanocytes, producing a rapid change in skin coloration, while the non-acylated forms are neurotransmitters. α-MSH is identical to the N-terminal 13 residues of corticotropin, and β-MSH to the C-terminal 18 residues of γ-lipotropin. Immunoreactive “β-MSH” in humans consists of β- and γ-lipotropin. Administration of α-MSH or elevation of corticotropin in humans causes a slight increase in melanization. Called also intermedin and melanotropin.
