Functional Screening in the Melanophore Bioassay

Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 2005
AbstractThe melanophore bioassay is a robust, sensitive, and versatile procedure for screening G protein–coupled receptors in a variety of formats. Because melanophores contain a wide variety of G proteins, they can be employed as a sensitive, real‐time response system for studying transfected receptors and for defining equilibria for drug effects ...

Kit and foxd3 genetically interact to regulate melanophore survival in zebrafish

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, 2009
We have investigated the role of foxd3 activity in conjunction with signaling by the kit tyrosine kinase receptor in zebrafish black pigment cell (melanophore) development.

The cytoskeleton in fish melanophore melanosome positioning

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, 2002
Melanophore melanosomes organelles can be regulated to move and locate correspondingly to many other different organelle types. Comparing lessons from analysis of a specific melanosome distribution can, therefore, contribute to the understanding of ...

Calcium Requirement for Melanophore-Stimulating Hormone Action on Melanophores

Science, 1971
The calcium ion is specifically required for the action of melanophore-stimulating hormone on melanosome dispersion within lizard ( Anolis carolinensis ) melanophores in vitro. The response to this hormone is directly related to the concentration of the Ca 2+ ion.

Mechanism of melanophore dispersion

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1964
Abstract The mechanism of the melanophore reaction of the skin of Hyla arborea (tree frog) has been studied. Apart from the specific hormones MSH and ACTH which elicit melanophore dispersion, the following substances produced darkening: theophylline and caffeine regularly, theobromine erratically, but not, however, dyphylline.
