Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most common mutagen that melanocytes are exposed to. UVR causes a diverse range of DNA photolesions contributing to genome instability and promotes melanoma and non-melanoma development. Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells that synthesise the photoprotective melanins when the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is activated. MC1R is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed...
