Aktary et al. identify novel roles for the dynein light chain Dynlt3 in melanosome transport, maturation, and transfer to keratinocytes. They also find that the Wnt/βcatenin signalling pathway controls Dynlt3 levels and thus also contributes to the regulation of melanocyte transport and skin pigmentation.
