Enhanced MC1R-signalling and pH modulation facilitate melanogenesis within late endosomes of BLOC-1-deficient melanocytes

Philip S. Goff, Shyamal Patel, Dawn C. Harper, Tom D. Carter, Michael S. Marks, Elena V. Sviderskaya

This study shows that BLOC-1-deficient melanocytes can produce melanin in late endosomes/lysosomes through pH modulation and enhanced MC1R-signalling.
