7× speed timelapse video of fish melanophores responding to 200 uM adrenaline; the<unk> s retreat to the center of the star-shaped melanophore cells. Fish and frog melanophores are cells that can change colour by dispersing or aggregating pigment-containing<unk> s. A<unk>  is an organelle found in animal cells and is the site for synthesis, storage and transport of melanin, the most common light-absorbing pigment found in the animal kingdom.<unk> s are responsible for color and photoprotection in animal cells and tissues.<unk> s are synthesised in the skin in melanocyte cells, as well as the eye in choroidal melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. In lower vertebrates, they are found in melanophores or chromatophores.
