ABSTRACT:
Methods are described whereby vertebrate skin, hair, wool or fur may be lightened, or darkened, in color by administration of a substance, e.g., peptide, antibody, antibody fragment or DNA sequence encoding a peptide, that modulates the protein kinase C-beta-mediated activation of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanogenesis.
