Traffic, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 331-345, June 2022., 2022 We investigated the endocytic route followed by melanocores and melanosomes during internalization by keratinocytes. Depletion of critical proteins involved in actin‐dependent uptake mechanisms, together with inhibition of Rac1‐dependent signaling pathways or macropinocytosis suggest that melanocores are internalized by phagocytosis, whereas ...
