Tissue SpecificityThe three color pigments are found in the cone photoreceptor cells (PubMed:2937147). Expressed throughout the epidermis and dermis, primarily in the stratum granulosum in the facial and abdominal skin (at protein level) (PubMed:30168605). Expressed in dermal fibroblasts (at protein level) (PubMed:31380578). Expressed in melanocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:31730232). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2937147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30168605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31380578, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31730232}.
