Induction of retinal ‐dependent calcium influx in human melanocytes by UVA or UVB radiation contributes to the stimulation of melanosome transfer

ConclusionsThe distinct time‐phases of Ca2+ influx in MCs induced by UVA or UVB contribute to the consecutive stimulation of melanosome transfer, thereby providing a potent photoprotection against harmful UV radiation.
