A composition and method for treating disorders related to tyrosinase gene expression and melanin biosynthesis is disclosed. The composition comprises a tyrosinase encoding nucleotide sequence and an ORF-438 encoding nucleotide sequence derived from Streptomyces, adapted for expression in mammalian cells. Also disclosed is a model system for evaluating agents that affect pigmentation, and a method for treating alopecia by gene therapy by providing a gene encoding a cell cycle inhibitor.
