Control of Melanogenesis In the Human Epidermis by the Redox-Status of Tetrahydrobiopterins
Activity of tyrosinase directly controls melanogenesis in the human epidermis. Recently, it has been shown that the biosynthesis and recycling of (6R)L-erythro 5,6,7,8 tetrahydrobiopterin (6-BH4) plays a central role in regulating the supply of L-tyrosine, the substrate for tyrosinase. In this repor...
