The Expression Pattern of Genes Related to Melanogenesis and Endogenous Opioids in Psoriasis

The Expression Pattern of Genes Related to Melanogenesis and Endogenous Opioids in Psoriasis

The melanocortin system is a major regulator of stress responses in the skin and is responsible for the induction of melanin synthesis through activation of melanogenesis enzymes. The expression of both melanocortin system genes and melanogenesis enzyme genes is altered in psoriasis, and the focus h...
