Gene Name melanocortin 1 receptor
Background This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein; a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor; controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin. Gene mutations that lead to a loss in function are associated with increased pheomelanin production; which leads to lighter skin and hair color. Eumelanin is photoprotective but pheomelanin may contribute to UV-induced skin damage by generating free radicals upon UV radiation. Binding of MSH to its receptor activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. This receptor is a major determining factor in sun sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Over 30 variant alleles have been identified which correlate with skin and hair color; providing evidence that this gene is an important component in determining normal human pigment variation.
