Melanin is a natural skin pigment that determines the characteristic complexion of each individual. It is produced by the melanocytes present in the cells. Melanocytes containing cells are present in stratum basale of skin, hair, uvea of eyes, inner ear, vaginal epithelium, meninges, bones and heart. The process of production of melanin is known as melanogenesis. Melanocytes are stimulated by Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone MSH and synthesize the melanin pigment from tyrosine. The melanin is then stored in melanosomes and transported to nearest keratinocytes for release. The effect of UV radiation increases the rate of melanogenesis and the deficiency of tyrosine oxidase resulting in albinism has no melanogenesis.
