Up‐regulation of <i>Tyrosinase</i> Gene by Nitric Oxide in Human Melanocytes
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet light (UV) radiation causes skin-tanning, which is thought to be mediated by stimulating the release of melanogenic factors from keratinocytes as well as other cells. Nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to be generated after UV radiation and to stimulate melanocytes as one of the melanogens. In a previous experiment by another group on melanogenesis induced by NO, increases in both tyrosinase activity...
