The presence of melanopsin (OPN4) has been shown in cultured murine melanocytes and was associated with ultraviolet A radiation (UVA) reception. Here we demonstrated the protective role of OPN4 in skin physiology and the increased UVA-induced damage in its absence. Histological analysis showed a thicker dermis and thinner hypodermal white adipose tissue layer in Opn4<sup>-/-</sup> (KO) mice than in wild-type (WT) animals. Proteomics analyses revealed molecular signatures associated with proteoly ...[more]
