    Glossary Epidermal Melanocytes

    specialized skin cells that produce melanin pigment

    Epidermal melanocytes are specialized cells located in the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. These cells produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color, and play a crucial role in protecting the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
