Some physiological genetic aspects of mammalian melanogenesis.
During the past several years we have been studying a number of melanogenic attributes using the skins of house mice afflicted by various types of genetic damage (Foster, 1956, 1959; Foster and Thomson, 1958). Our most recent study (Foster and Thomson, 1961, and unpublished data) involves a closer scrutiny of the effects of allelic interactions at a specific locus, b (brown). Briefly, by means ...
متن کاملMechanisms regulating melanogenesis*
Skin pigmentation is an important human phenotypic trait whose regulation, in spite of recent advances, has not yet been fully understood. The pigment melanin is produced in melanosomes by melanocytes in a complex process called melanogenesis. The melanocyte interacts with endocrine, immune, inflammatory and central nervous systems, and its activity is also regulated by extrinsic factors such a...
متن کاملRecent Advance in Melanogenesis
Solar radiation induces both acute and chronic responses in the skin. Sun burn, sun tan, generation of reactive oxygen species and immunosuppression are acute responses. Wrinkles, lentigines, post-inflammatory pigmentation are chronic damages. According to one study done in Japan, it was found out that the annual ultraviolet dose received by people living in Kagoshima was 1.6 times higher than ...
متن کاملSignaling Pathways in Melanogenesis
Melanocytes are melanin-producing cells found in skin, hair follicles, eyes, inner ear, bones, heart and brain of humans. They arise from pluripotent neural crest cells and differentiate in response to a complex network of interacting regulatory pathways. Melanins are pigment molecules that are endogenously synthesized by melanocytes. The light absorption of melanin in skin and hair leads to ph...
متن کاملEnzyme Localization during Melanogenesis
The DOPA-reaction was used to identify tyrosinase in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the neural crest melanoblast of Taricha torosa, the California newt. In this urodele there is a nuclear DOPA-positive response during the normal embryonic development from the late blastula stage to the nucleus of the early melanocyte. During the gastrula stages, all nuclei of this newt are DOPA-positive. This pos...
