CC   Characteristics: Produces melanin pigment when L-tyrosine or L-DOPA are added to the culture media - along with new organelle formation - melanosomes and increased expression of MSH receptors (Kerafast=EAB001).
CC   Characteristics: Established from the transplantable Bomirski hamster amelanotic melanoma.
CC   Derived from site: In situ; Skin; UBERON=UBERON_0002097.
