Has removal of excess cysteine led to the evolution of pheomelanin?
Bioessays 34 (7):565-568 (2012)
Abstract
Graphical AbstractPheomelanogenesis may have evolved as an excretory mechanism to remove excess cysteine, and in humans this might potentially confer a greater ability to avoid disease such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, in which excess cysteine is a contributory cause.My notes
