Contribution of melanogenic proteins to the heterogeneous pigmentation of human melanocytes.

Journal of cell science - 1 Dec 1993

Abdel-Malek Z, Swope V, Collins C, Boissy R, Zhao H, Nordlund J

Abstract excerpt

Human melanocytes from individuals with different skin types, as well as from the skin of the same individual, are heterogeneous in their melanin content. This heterogeneity may be attributed to differences in the activity and expression of the three melanogenic proteins: tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related proteins 1 and 2 (gp75 and DOPAchrome tautomerase, respectively), which in turn are affected by certain...
