Melanocitos, melanogénesis, melanosomas, melanina

Resumen

El sistema de pigmentación melánica representa una característica distintiva de la evolución de los mamíferos, y para el estudio de la ciencia del
pigmento se requiere un amplio conocimiento de la biología de los melanocitos, su embriología, conformación subcelular, melanogénesis y factores regulatorios de esta importante vía metabólica.

El melanocito es la célula especializada en la síntesis de melanina, pigmento que efectúa una acción fotoprotectora frente a los efectos dañinos del sol. Los melanosomas son organelas citoplasmáticas con enzimas que participan en la síntesis de los pigmentos melánicos y son transferidos a los queratinocitos vecinos. El color de la piel está, en parte, determinado por la forma y distribución que adoptan los melanosomas dentro de los queratinocitos.En cualquier nivel de este ordenado sistema se pueden producir lesiones congénitas o adquiridas que se van a manifestar en alteraciones
pigmentarias distintivas.
