  • Name: Melan-d1 cell line
  • Organism: Mouse
  • Tissue: Skin
  • Morphology: Small, oval-fusiform
  • Model: Immortalised non-cancerous cell lines
  • Description: The melan-d1 cell line is an immortal melanocyte cell line derived from the skin of neonatal dilute (dl20J) Ink4aArf -/- C57BL6/J mice. The dilute (dl20J) mutation in the myosin Va gene results in perinuclear clustering of pigmented melanosomes. These melanocytes are a useful tool for studies of pigmentation genetics and transport of photoprotective eumelanin
  • Application: Melanocyte cell biology

Applications

  • Application: Melanocyte cell biology

Handling

  • Growth medium: RPMI + FBS (10%) + TPA (200 nM) + cholera toxin (CT) (200 pM)
  • Storage conditions: liquid N2
