The genetic control of skin color is based on a combination of specific hormones and specific receptors in the skin. The major receptor for the production of melanin is the melanocortin1 receptor (MC1R), of which there are five types. There are three major melanocyte-stimulating hormones that are produced by cells in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland.
