Role of microRNA508-3p in melanogenesis by targeting microphthalmia transcription factor in melanocytes of alpaca

It has been demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the control of melanogenesis and hair color in mammals. By comparing miRNA expression profiles between brown and white alpaca skin, we previously identified miR508-3p as a differentially expressed miRNA suggesting its potential...
