• Morphological skin colour changes in teleosts (2009, background): “Light-induced melanogenesis has been most comprehensively studied in mammals, particularly in humans, but similar mechanisms can be expected in teleosts since the melanogenic pathway is highly conserved among vertebrates (Slominski et al. 2004).”
• Signaling Pathways in Melanogenesis (2016, background): “α-MSH is cleaved from a precursor protein called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) produced by the pituitary gland and epidermal keratinocytes [2,33,39,40] allowing for local paracrine regulation [2].”
• Skin melanocytes: biology and development (2013, background): “Tyrosinase and TYRP1 catalyze further conversions obtaining finally a lighter brown color DHICA-melanin [30, 37].”
• Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions (2012, positive): “Melatonin also regulates melanin pigmentation (Slominski et al., 2005a, 2004b) and has a potential utility in melanoma treatment (Fischer et al., 2006; Slominski et al., 2005c).”
• Melanoma biology and new targeted therapy (2007, background): “1 ) and in the hair follicles, and their homeostasis is regulated by epidermal keratinocyte”
• Melanocyte biology and skin pigmentation (2007, background): “Pheomelanin and eumelanin differ not only in colour but also in the size, shape and packaging of their granule”
• UV Radiation and the Skin (2013, background): “Adaptive melanization is likely a complex physiologic response [4,10,83,85] involving multiple skin”
• Corticosterone mediates the condition-dependent component of melanin-based coloration (2008, positive): “During the stress response glucocorticoids have inhibiting effects on melanogenesis (Slominski et al. 2004) by reducing the transcription of POMC, Mc1R and tyrosinase and the activity of DCT (Arnold et al.”
