Human melanin is synthesised in melanosomes located in melanocytes
of the skin, hair, eyes, and leptomeninges. Melanin not only
determines skin colour, but also protects the skin from UV damage
by absorbing UV light. In this book, the authors present current
research in the study of the biosynthesis, functions and health
effects of melanin. Topics include melanogenesis and natural
hypopigmentation agents; fungal melanins; the coat colour genes
that regulate eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis in melanocytes;
the role of melanin production in gaeumannomyces graminis infection
of cereal plants and the occurrence and function of melanic
pigmentation in ectothermic vertebrates.
