Recent progresses in understanding pigmentation.

Giornale italiano di dermatologia e venereologia : organo ufficiale, Societa italiana di dermatologia e sifilografia - 1 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

Human pigmentation involves production and dispersion of melanin by epidermal melanocytes to neighboring keratinocytes. Melanin synthesis or melanogenesis occurs within the specialized organelle termed melanosomes where the amino acid L-tyrosine serves as the starting precursor. Melanocytes from individuals of different pigmentary phenotypes differ in their rate and types of melanin synthesis, as well as in the...
