Modulation of the human hair follicle pigmentary unit by corticotrophin-releasing hormone and urocortin peptides

No === Human skin is a local source of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and expresses CRH and CRH receptors (CRH-R) at mRNA and protein levels. Epidermal melanocytes respond to CRH by induction of cAMP with up-regulation of pro-opiomelanocortin gene expression and subsequent production of adren...
