Recycled Sericin Hydrolysates Modified by Alcalase<sup>®</sup> Suppress Melanogenesis in Human Melanin-Producing Cells via Modulating MITF

Because available depigmenting agents exhibit short efficacy and serious side effects, sericin, a waste protein from the silk industry, was hydrolyzed using Alcalase<sup>®</sup> to evaluate its anti-melanogenic activity in human melanin-producing cells. Sericin hydrolysates consisted of...
