Where and how melanogenesis occurs Regulation of constitutive pigmentation / MC-1R Regulation of facultative pigmentation / UVR
> 25 genes
- biogenesis & function of melanosomes / proteins Critical enzymes include: - Tyrosinase
- TRP-1 (tyrosinase related protein -1) - DCT (DOPAchrometautomerase)
Melanocytes
Specialise: in the synthesis of melanin Derived: melanoblasts Visible phenotype: Accurate migration, distribution & functioning Mblasts / Mcyte Location: - basal layer epidermis - connected to keratinocytes, fibroblasts - hair follicle: bulb / ORS sebaceous gland

Melanogenesis
where? melanosomes 3 distinct melanins: - Eumelanin: Brown/black - Pheomelanin: Red/yellow melanosomes mature: - Transferred cite synthesis = perikaryon dendrites - neighbouring keratinocytes

Melanocortin -1 Receptor
Major ctrl point in regulating human pigmentation Regulates quantity & quality of melanins
Agonists MC-1R
-MSH & ACTH (precursor peptide POMC) Synthesised: Skin cells / Mcytes & Kcytes Activation MC-1R - stimulates expression of melanogenic cascade - synthesis of eumelanin

Antagonist MC-1R
Agouti signalling protein (ASP) - stimulates synthesis of pheomelanin

Melanogenesis
MC-1R polymorphisms
Allelic variants / associated with red hair/fair skin - Arg151Cys, Arg160Trp, Asp294His Loss of function MC-1R: - affects -MSH/ACTH binding - subsequent signalling Highly associated with: - poor tanning - risk of melanoma

22
Facultative Pigmentation
Regulated by: UVA radiation / tanning reaction Immediate tanning - Occurs within mins of exposure & persists for hrs persistent skin darkening - Lasts several days - oxidation and polymerisation of existing melanin - redistribution of existing melanosomes
23
Delayed tanning - Occurs several days after UVR exposure - Activation of melanocyte function - Mcyte proliferation & dendricity - MITF expression & - downstream melanogenic proteins: Pmel17 MART-1 Tyrosinase Melanogenesis TRP-1 DCT
24
EM and EK respond to UV exposure: - synthesis and secretion of -MSH & ACTH - expression and function of MC-1R - Enhances Mcyte responses to -MSH & ACTH Other melanogenic factors secreted by EK - SCF (stem cell factor) - NGF (nerve growth factor)
25
Summary
Melanogenesis occurs in melanosomes Melanin consists of distinct forms: - Eumelanin: brown/black - Pheomelanin: yellow/red Constitutive pigmentation: - Genetically determined / abs of external influences Facultative pigmentation: - pigmentation due to a physiological factor
