Analysis of mammalian pigmentation at the molecular level.

Abstract excerpt

There has been great interest lately in the cloning of pigment-related genes; several laboratories have succeeded in isolating melanocyte-specific genes which have many of the characteristics expected for tyrosinase. In this paper, we review the selection criteria, the physical properties, and th...
