Abstract
The present invention relates to novel oligonucleotide sequences and also to derivatives thereof.These novel oligonucleotide sequences are capable of hybridizing specifically with the gene or with a product of the gene encoding tyrosinase, or with the gene or a product of the gene encoding tyrosinase-related-protein 1 (TRP-1).The present invention also relates to the use of these novel oligonucleotide sequences as a depigmenting or bleaching agent in a cosmetic composition or in a dermatological composition.
