Term Description

This term is intended to collate similar measurements for the LOINC SNOMED CT Collaboration in an ontological view. Additionally, it can be used to communicate a laboratory order, either alone or in combination with specimen or other information in the order. It may NOT be used to report back the measured patient value. https://lo.inc/ce2mb6

LP15724-5   Melanin
Melanin is a class of compounds found in plants, animals, and protists, where it serves predominantly as a pigment. In animals melanin pigments are derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine. The most common form of biological melanin is eumelanin, a brown-black polymer of dihydroxyindole carboxylic acids, and their reduced forms. Technically all melanins are derivatives of polyacetylene. The most common melanin, dopamelanin is a mixed copolymer of polyacetylene, polyaniline and polypyrrole. Another common form of melanin is pheomelanin, a red-brown polymer of benzothiazine units largely responsible for red hair and freckles. The presence of melanin in the archaea and bacteria kingdoms is an issue of ongoing debate amongst researchers in the field. The increased production of melanin in human skin is called melanogenesis. Production of melanin is stimulated by DNA damage induced by UVB-radiation, and it leads to a delayed development of a tan. This melanogenesis-based tan takes more time to develop, but it is long lasting. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
