Patterning skin pigmentation via dickkopf JOURNAL OF INVESTIGATIVE DERMATOLOGY Chang, H. Y. 2007; 127 (5): 994-995
Abstract
One of the striking regional variations in skin is its pigmentation. Yamaguchi et al. further dissect the mechanism of regional pigmentation by assessing the effects of dickkopf 1 (DKK1), an antagonist of the Wnt pathway produced in lightly pigmented skin, on melanocyte gene expression. The results provide a plethora of candidate genes that may mediate DKK1's inhibitory effects on melanocyte function.
