abstract：:Activation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) is involved in decreased melanogenesis by sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC). In the present study, we confirmed that SPC activated ERK and that a specific inhibitor of the ERK pathway (PD98059) recovered SPC-induced hypopigmentation. Moreover, we found that SPC s...
