Transcriptional Regulation of OCA2 and POMC by a cAMP-Dependent Mechanism and Implications in Skin Pigmentation

Transcriptional Regulation of OCA2 and POMC by a cAMP-Dependent Mechanism and Implications in Skin Pigmentation

Skin Pigmentation represents the major natural protection against the deleterious effects of Ultraviolet light and involves a crosstalk between keratinocytes and melanocytes. Pigment synthesis or melanogenesis is initiated by the binding of \(\alpha\)-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone \((\alpha-MSH)\)...
