Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Dermatologica Sinica, 2014 Mammalian keratinocytes compose the bulk of the epithelium, undergo keratinization, and form the dead superficial layer of the skin. These superficial keratinized cells are continuously replaced by cells derived from mitotic cells in the lowest layer of ...

Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR, 2017 The α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (αMSH)/Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) interaction promotes melanogenesis through the cAMP/PKA pathway. The direct induction of this pathway by Forskolin (FSK) is also known to enhance melanocyte proliferation.

Radioimmunoassay for Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1966 SummaryA radioimmunoassay has been developed for alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (ae MSH). The assay compares favorably with biologic assays in terms of sensitivity and appears to be better in terms of precision and specificity.

Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone: An Emerging Anti-Inflammatory Antimicrobial Peptide
BioMed Research International, 2014 The alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a neuropeptide belonging to the melanocortin family. It is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects and shares several characteristics with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).

Engineered Protein Nanocages for Targeted and Enhanced Dermal Melanocyte Cellular Uptake
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, 2021 Hyperpigmentation is a major cosmetic concern that results from the overproduction of melanin from melanocyte cells in the skin. Current formulations of therapeutic drugs and active molecules that are intended to be delivered to the melanocytes are not ...

Preliminary study on MC1R polymorphism in some cattle breeds raised in Italy
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011 Most of the Western European cattle breeds consist of standardised breeds with a definite coat colour (Renieri et al., 1984). Thus coat colour could be useful to detect genetic markers for cattle breed identification.

Melanocortin System in Kidney Homeostasis and Disease: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Melanocortin peptides, melanocortin receptors, melanocortin receptor accessory proteins, and endogenous antagonists of melanocortin receptors are the key components constituting the melanocortin hormone system, one of the most complex and important ...
