Detailed explanation-1: -Melanin provides pigmentation to your skin, eyes and hair. The substance also absorbs harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays and protects your cells from sun damage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Melanin is a natural pigment that gives your skin its color. It’s produced in cells called melanocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The production of melanin is regulated by -melanocyte-stimulating hormone (-MSH), which is produced from proopiomelanocortin (POMC). Keratinocytes release POMC along with lower levels of -MSH and ACTH.
Detailed explanation-4: -The contact between the dendritic processes of differentiated melanocyte and keratinocytes is necessary for the melanin transfer into keratinocytes determining the skin color and is involved in the skin cells’ photoprotection.
