KnowraMelanogenesisLinked fromLinked fromThe 13 pages that link to Melanogenesis, each with the reason it gives.All 13Broader topic 2Related 8Narrower topic 3MelaninBroader topic: This pathway builds the pigment whose production determines much of tissue pigmentation.MelanocyteRelated: Melanocytes make pigment through this sequence of chemical reactions.TyrosineRelated: Tyrosine enters this pathway and is converted toward melanin by tyrosinase.DermatologyRelated: Changes in pigment production explain many differences in skin color and pigment disorders.TyrosinaseNarrower topic: Tyrosinase initiates key chemical steps in this broader pigment-producing pathway.MelanosomeRelated: This biochemical pathway operates inside developing melanosomes.EumelaninNarrower topic: Eumelanin is produced through this pathway, whose enzymes direct pigment formation.Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentationRelated: Inflammatory signals can stimulate this pigment-producing process.AlbinismRelated: Different albinism-associated genes affect steps in this pigment-production pathway.PheomelaninNarrower topic: Pheomelanin forms through this pigment-producing pathway when melanocytes have sufficient cysteine.Skin lesionRelated: Changes in pigment production can make a lesion darker or lighter than surrounding skin.Human skin colorBroader topic: Its activity changes pigmentation after ultraviolet exposure and across individuals.Human hair colorRelated: Changes in this process alter the kinds and quantities of pigment entering hair.
