Microphthalmia Gene Product as a Signal Transducer in cAMP-Induced Differentiation of Melanocytes
Melanocyte differentiation characterized by an increased melanogenesis, is stimulated by α-melanocyte–stimulating hormone through activation of the cAMP pathway. During this process, the expression of tyrosinase, the enzyme that controls melanin synthesis is upregulated. We previously showed that cA...
