What Is a Melanosome?
Melanosome is also called melanosome. Melanocytes, pigment particles in melanocytes. It is a melanin structure containing brown and black in a single-layer film. It is also found in melanocytes in melanocytes that contains yellow and red phae-omelanin. Melanosomes in epidermal cells are transferred by melanocytes produced in the mesoderm of the ectoderm system.

It is also found in melanocytes in melanocytes that contains yellow and red phae-omelanin. Melanosomes in epidermal cells are transferred by melanocytes produced in the mesoderm of the ectoderm system.
- When a signal is stimulated, the molecular motor in the melanin body will disperse or contract melanin. The molecular motor responsible for driving the melanin contraction is dynein, and the driving motor for melanin dispersion is kinesin. Because the microtubules point to the periphery of the cell, kinesin, which can only move in one direction, transports melanin to the periphery of the cell. Dispersing melanin around the cells will make the cells darker, and the concentration of melanin at the center of the cells will make the cells lighter. This is the principle by which fish protect themselves at the molecular level. For cephalopods such as octopuses, the change in color is due to changes in pigment cells, which are different from changes in melanin.
