Identification of the minimal melanocyte-specific promoter in the melanocortin receptor 1 gene
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>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 cruc...
