Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanin. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanin. Any process that alters the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanin. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in many of the chemical changes of compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. In multicellular organisms secondary metabolism is generally carried out in specific cell types, and may be useful for the organism as a whole. In unicellular organisms, secondary metabolism is often used for the production of antibiotics or for the utilization and acquisition of unusual nutrients. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of secondary metabolism, the chemical reactions and pathways involving compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of substances, carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin.
