BIOMARKER FOR PREDICTION OF SKIN HAVING HYPERPIGMENTATION DISPOSITION

摘要

A bio marker for diagnosing hyperpigmentation disposition of skin is provided to rapidly and sensitively predict the possibility of pigmentation. A bio marker for diagnosing skin of hyperpigmentation disposition comprises a gene of which expression is increased or decreased by UV irradiation. A kit for diagnosing hyperpigmentation disposition comprises a polynucleotide of the bio marker gene or its fragment and solid support in which one or more polynucleotide is conjugated on the surface. A method for screening an inhibitor of hyperpigmentation disposition comprises: a step of treating test material in the bio marker gene; and a step of confirming whether the test material suppresses or inhibits the expression of the gene.
