      DescriptionSK-MEL-37 Human Melanoma Cell Line
      OverviewMalignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, and the fifth most common cancer in the Unites States.1 As survival rate depends on the stage of disease at time of diagnosis, early detection is crucial to improving disease outcome and saving lives. Amelanotic (or hypomelanotic) melanoma (AM) is a rare subtype of cutaneous melanoma, comprising between 2-8% of total cases.2 AM is characterized by decreased or null presence of melanin, due to loss of pigment in tumor evolution. AM is usually diagnosed at more advanced stages, resulting in lower overall survival. AM is frequently observed in patients with melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) genotypes linked to certain phenotypes such as red hair.2
      The SK-MEL-37 amelanotic cutaneous melanoma cell line is a well-established model for human melanoma, widely utilized in investigations into the mutational landscape of melanoma and the enhanced antigen expression that occurs concomitantly with melanoma progression. SK-MEL-37 expresses the melanoma-associated antigens MAGE-A1, tyrosinase, and p97, and cell surface antigens essential for metastasis such as CD71 and CD146.3 SK-MEL-37 is valuable and highly characterized cell system for transformation of melanocytes into melanoma and identification of therapeutic targets for this disease.
