Term Information

Accession: GO:0050936
Name: xanthophore differentiation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: xanthophore cell differentiation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a xanthophore cell. Xanthophores are pigment cells derived from the neural crest. They contain pteridine and/or carotenoid pigments in structures called pterinosomes or xanthosomes. This makes them yellow to orange in appearance. Source: GOC:mh, PMID:11858836, GOC:jid
Comment: Note that this term refers to xanthophores in the sense of specialized pigment-producing cells, and should not be confused with the cellular component term 'xanthophore ; GO:0031633', which refers to a subcellular structure.
