Abstract
A method of screening a skin whitening agent uses the stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) promoter region, the correlation between the expression amount of the skin pigment and the expression of the SDF1 promoter is observed and thus it is expected to be available in systems for pre-screening pigmentation substances and pigment reduction materials, and the drugs screened by the method is used for treatment of skin pigment-related diseases.
