Malassezin, a Novel Agonist of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor from the Yeast <i>Malassezia furfur</i>, Induces Apoptosis in Primary Human Melanocytes

5 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

Pityriasis versicolor is the most common skin mycosis in humans worldwide. Yeasts of the genus Malassezia, particularly M. furfur, a saprophyte occurring widely on human skin, are generally regarded as the causative agents. Pityriasis versicolor is often accompanied by a long-lasting depigmentation that persists even after successful antimycotic therapy. M. furfur is able to convert tryptophan into a variety of...
