    Glossary Melanocyte Function

    cells produce melanin to color skin, hair, and eyes

    Melanocyte function refers to the role of melanocytes, which are specialized cells in the skin responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. These cells help protect the skin from UV radiation by absorbing and dissipating harmful rays, thereby reducing the risk of DNA damage.
