Application

MoTP may be used in cell signaling and differentiation studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MoTP (also known as 33N14) reversibly blocks the specification of neural crest cells into melanocytes in zebrafish studies. Differentiation of neural crest cell-derived melanoblasts proceeds to late developmental stages, but they fail to reach the terminal stage of melanin production and die. Melanocytotoxicity is dependent on tyrosinase activity which convert it into a toxic form. MoTP specifically ablates only cells that express tyrosinase at high levels, which in the embryo are limited to melanoblasts and newly formed melanocytes. MoTP should be a useful tool for elucidating melanocyte stem cell regeneration, recruitment, and maintenance.

Understanding how fate specification of distinct cell-types from multipotent progenitors occurs is a fundamental question in embryology. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) generate extraordinarily diverse derivatives, including multiple neural, skeletogenic and pigment cell fates. Key transcription factors and extracellular signals

It has been reported that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is related to melanogenesis in mice and melanoma cells. However, the underlying mechanisms of 5-HT in regulating pigmentation remains unknown. In this study, we aim to clarify the regulatory mechanism of 5-HT in
