1. Melanosomes containing eumelanin are eumelanosomes, while those containing phaeomelanin are phaeomelanosomes. 2. In the absence of this signal, melanocytes produce phaeomelanin . 3. In addition to eumelanin, melanocytes can generate a yellow / red pigment called phaeomelanin . 4. Dopaquinone may become eumelanin, or phaeomelanin . 5. Thody explained that human skin produced two types of melanin : black eumelanin and red phaeomelanin . 6. It causes the dilution of both eumelanin and phaeomelanin to a light grey or buff, respectively. 7. Although eumelanin is strongly photoprotective, Thody said, phaeomelanin may actually contribute to skin damage and disease. 8. :: Eumelanin, much more so than phaeomelanin , is the principle mechanism of UV protection in skin. 9. Lemon dogs are lighter in colour than Reds, but the genetic mechanism that dilutes phaeomelanin in this instance is unknown. 10. In the presence of the Agouti protein, the same system produces the lighter-coloured, yellow or red phaeomelanin .
