EOG86X1QB GO:0042438 3/94 melanin biosynthetic process biological_process "The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom." [CHEBI:25179, GOC:curators] EOG86X1QB GO:0005576 3/94 extracellular region cellular_component "The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite."
