Identification of the minimal melanocyte-specific promoter in the melanocortin receptor 1 gene
BACKGROUND: The understanding of cutaneous pigmentation biology is relevant from the biologic and clinical point of view. The binding of α-melanocortin and its specific receptor, on the plasma membrane of melanin synthesising cells, plays a crucial role in melanins biosynthesis. Furthermore, loss of...
