Major ROS sources in melanocytes. ROS can be generated from UV irradiation, melanosomes, mitochondria, and NOS and NOX family enzymes. Moreover, NOX enzymes can be activated by arachidonic acid metabolites from both the COX and LOX pathways, as well as from the activated N-RAS, AKT, and RAC1 oncogenic pathways.
