Targeting MC1R depalmitoylation to prevent melanomagenesis in redheads

Melanocortin-1 receptor is a palmitoylated protein and variants of the receptor are associated with red hair colour and susceptibility to melanoma. Here, the authors describe a method to enhance the palmitoylation of the receptor, which can inhibit melanomagenesis in mice.
