This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.

This review discusses the roles of the Agouti and Agouti-related proteins in pigmentation and energy regulation and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that BMP signaling influences hair pigmentation in mice by affecting the Agouti protein and interacts with MC-1R pathways to modulate melanin production.

This study demonstrated that the biomimetic peptide PTP20 may help preserve hair pigmentation and reduce greying by enhancing melanocyte function and increasing melanin production in human hair follicles.

This study suggests that in gp91phox-knockout mice, tranexamic acid administration led to brown hair by increasing MGRN1 and collagen XVII levels, while the retention of black hair appears to rely on the gp91phox/ROS/IL-1β/TGF-β pathway.
