  1. Melanocyte - Wikipedia

    • Melanocytes are melanin-producing neural crest-derived cells located in the bottom layer (the stratum basale) of the skin's epidermis, the middle layer of the eye (the uvea), the inner ear, vaginal epithelium, meninges, bones, and heart found in many mammals and birds. Melanin is a dark pigment primarily responsible for skin color. Once synthesized, m… See more

  2. Epidermis
    • According to 2 sources
    Melanocytes are ideally positioned in the epidermis to be sentinels against harmful pathogens. They reside in the stratum basale, [23] the lowest layer of the epidermis, but they use their dendrites to interact with cells in other layers, [24] and to capture pathogens that enter the epidermis. [21]
    Melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Melanocytes produce and distribute melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. Melanin provides protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
