Upregulated Guanine Deaminase Is Involved in Hyperpigmentation of Seborrheic Keratosis via Uric Acid Release

Seborrheic keratosis, which is a benign tumor composed of epidermal keratinocytes, develops common in the elderly. Uric acid generated by upregulated guanine deaminase (<i>GDA</i>) has been identified to cause UV-induced keratinocyte senescence in seborrheic keratosis. Seborrheic keratos...
