Neuromelanins of human brain have soluble and insoluble components with dolichols attached to the melanic structure.
Neuromelanins (NMs) are neuronal pigments of melanic-lipidic type which accumulate during aging. They are involved in protective and degenerative mechanisms depending on the cellular context, however their structures are still poorly understood. NMs from nine human brain areas were analyzed in detai...
