Mouse Gene Set: GOCC_PIGMENT_GRANULE

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOCC_PIGMENT_GRANULE

Standard name GOCC_PIGMENT_GRANULE
Systematic name MM12403
Brief description A small, subcellular membrane-bounded vesicle containing pigment and/or pigment precursor molecules. Pigment granule biogenesis is poorly understood, as pigment granules are derived from multiple sources including the endoplasmic reticulum, coated vesicles, lysosomes, and endosomes.
