Melanin \Mel"a*nin\, n. [Gr. me`las, -anos, black.] (Physiol.)
A black pigment found in the pigment-bearing cells of the
skin (particularly in the skin of the negro), in the
epithelial cells of the external layer of the retina (then
called {fuscin}), in the outer layer of the choroid, and
elsewhere. It is supposed to be derived from the
decomposition of hemoglobin.
