- Name: Melan-m2 cell line
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Skin
- Morphology: Small, oval-fusiform
- Model: Immortalised non-cancerous cell lines
- Description: The melan-m1, -m2 and -m3 cell lines are immortal melanocyte cell lines derived from the skin of neonatal Dock7m/Dock7m C57BL6/J mice. The misty mutation in melanocytes results in reduced proliferation and increased dendricity and pigmentation. These melanocytes are a useful tool for studies of pigment cell biology. Neural crest-like stem cells (NC-m4 and NC-m6) and melanoblast lines (melb-m5) derived from misty mice are also available from Cancertools.org.
