ADAM protease inhibitors reduce melanogenesis by regulating PMEL17 processing in human melanocytes

Highlights • Melanin content was reduced by the treatment with ADAM protease inhibitor. • The number of mature melanosomes was reduced by the treatment with ADAM protease inhibitor. • ADAM protease inhibitor acted on the processing of PMEL17 as γ-secretase and BACE2-independently.
