Transient Receptor Potential channels, TRPV1 and TRPA1 in melanocytes synergize UV‐dependent and UV‐independent melanogenesis
7 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Melanogenesis is essential for pigmentation and deregulated melanogenesis causes pigmentary diseases. Psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy strongly stimulates pigmentation, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are elusive. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Melanin content of cultured human melanocytes was spectrophotometrically measured. Patch-clamp recordings were made in human melanocytes...
