1 Activation of MAPK, tyrosine phosphorylation of a previously described 280-kDa protein, and melanosome aggregation are sensitive to PD98059, a selective inhibitor of MAPK kinase. Tyrosine mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 S homeolog Xenopus laevis
2 In addition to inhibition of cyclic adenosine 3",5"-monophosphate (cAMP), reduction in protein kinase A activity (PKA), and activation of protein phosphatase 2A, we suggest that melatonin receptors activate the MAPK cascade and tyrosine phosphorylation of the 280-kDa protein. Tyrosine mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 S homeolog Xenopus laevis
