- Description: The melan-s1 melanocyte cell line was irreversibly differentiated from immortal murine melanoblasts (melb-s1, also available from CancerTools.org). The melb-s1 line is an immortal cell line derived from the skin of neonatal Ednrbs/Ednrbs C3H mice. The melan-s1 melanocytes are derived from melanoblasts isolated from endothelin receptor B mutant mice. These cells may be useful for pigment cell biology studies.

Applications
- Application: Melanocyte cell biology
Handling
- Growth medium: RPMI + FBS (10%) + TPA (200 nM) + cholera toxin (CT) (200 pM)
