    Glossary Melanosomes

    specialized organelles that produce and store melanin pigment

    Melanosomes are specialized organelles within cells called melanocytes that produce and store melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes. These organelles play a crucial role in protecting the skin from UV radiation by absorbing and dissipating harmful rays.
