The main cell type in the skin is the keratinocyte. Keratinocytes make up about 95% of the cells in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. They produce the protein keratin, which helps provide structure and protection to the skin.

Melanocyte stem cells play a crucial role in the regeneration and maintenance of skin pigmentation by producing melanocytes, which are responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. These stem cells help replenish the melanocyte population in the skin, ensuring that the skin maintains its pigmentation and can repair damage caused by factors like UV radiation.
Melanocytes are cells in the skin which contain the pigment melanin.
Melanocytes are cells in the skin that produce a pigment called melanin.
the function of the keratinocyte is the formation of the keratin layer that protects the skin and the underlying tissues from the environmental damages such as the heat, ultra violet rays and the water loss.
melatonin is the pigment which increases skin pigmentation. This is produced by melanocyte stimulating harmonemelanocyte-stimulating hormoneMelanin stimulating hormone, or melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH). It is produced in the pituitary and cause melanocytes to increase production of melanin, the pigment responsible for darkening of the skin.
