“…As far as we know, only a small portion of the pathways involved in pigmentation have been validated to date, including the protein kinase C pathway [ 49 , 50 ], cAMP pathway [ 51 ], SCF-KIT pathway [ 52 ], cGMP pathway [ 53 ], phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt pathway [ 54 ], protein kinase A pathway [ 55 ], BMP signaling [ 56 ], Notch pathway [ 57 ], ERK pathway [ 58 ], Wnt signal [ 59 ], KITLG and the KITLG/c-Kit pathway [ 60 ], CXCR3-mediated pathway [ 61 ], JAK2-STAT6 signaling pathway [ 62 ], nitric oxide/protein kinase G signaling pathway [ 63 ], FGF/MAPK/Ets signaling [ 64 ], p38MAPK [ 65 ], MITF-GPNMB pathway [ 66 ], Galphas-SASH1-IQGAP1-E-cadherin pathway [ 67 ], CREB/MITF/tyrosinase pathway [ 68 ], and necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2)-caspases pathway [ 69 ]. However, reports on the role of lncRNA in pigmentation are limited.…”
