MC1R is the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). It is a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor that controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin. 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. Different variations have been identified to correlate with skin and hair color, providing evidence that MC1R is an important component in determining normal human pigment variation (1).
