Tetrahydrobiopterin as a Trigger for Vitiligo: Phototransformation during UV Irradiation
Vitiligo is a type of hypomelanosis. Tetrahydrobiopterin (H(4)Bip), the coenzyme of the initial stage of melanogenesis, appears to be a trigger for vitiligo. H(4)Bip is present in vitiligo in 3–5-fold excess and causes oxidative stress by triggering an autocatalytic cycle of excess hydrogen peroxide...
