Characterization of Melanosome Transport in Wild-Type Zebrafish. Melanocyte pigment granules in five-day-old swimming larvae completely aggregate within 5 min of exposure to melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) and completely disperse within 10 min of exposure to α-melanin stimulating hormone (MSH) (shown in [A]). The drug carrier, DMSO, does not affect melanosome distribution (data not shown). We used primary cell cultures of melanocytes from wild-type larvae to confirm that the cAMP signaling pathway that regulates aggregation and dispersion in other species also directs pigment granule movements in zebrafish (shown in [B]; Table 1).
