The expression of melanopsin and clock genes in Xenopus laevis melanophores and their modulation by melatonin [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2012 Vertebrates have a central clock and also several peripheral clocks. Light responses might result from the integration of light signals by these clocks. The dermal melanophores of Xenopus laevis have a photoreceptor molecule denominated melanopsin (OPN4x)

Characterization of the Leucistic Texas Rat Snake Pantherophis obsoletus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Albinism and leucism are phenotypes resulting from impaired melanin pigmentation in the skin and skin appendages. However, melanin pigmentation of eyes remains unaffected in leucism.

Melanosome transfer, photoreception and toxicity assays in melanophores [PDF]
, 2006 Many animals such as fish and frogs have developed the ability to change colour of their skin to adapt to the environment or to signal to other individuals. This ability is due to specialised skin cells called melanophores. Melanophores contain thousands

Aquaculture Reports, 2022 Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important species in aquaculture and an excellent model fish for studying teleost color patterns. Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor a (csf1ra) is critical for xanthophores development and body color formation

, 1998 Melanophores move pigment organelles (melanosomes) from the cell center to the periphery and vice-versa. These bidirectional movements require cytoplasmic microtubules and microfilaments and depend on the function of microtubule motors and a myosin ...

Bar, stripe and spot development in sand-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malawi
EvoDevo, 2019 Background Melanic patterns such as horizontal stripes, vertical bars and spots are common among teleost fishes and often serve roles in camouflage or mimicry. Extensive research in the zebrafish model has shown that the development of horizontal stripes
