Results from our forumTans... have sunlight as strong as the one in South East Asia. If then you come back to your country, the darker skin will fade away, as a result of MSH (melanin-stimulating hormone) suppressing not to be secreted intensively like when you stay in South East Asia. In opposite, some South East Asia ...

genome... big picture. For example, a single gene expressed in your brain codes for a large polypeptide that is cleaved and gives rise to the hormone ACTH, MSH, and a beta endorphin. Therefore, in this case, one gene codes for 3 proteins. Another very common phenomenon is alternative splicing: introns are ...

Cellular organelles and characteristics of epithelial tissue... thus it is called as melanophore. Colorful animals have another type of pigmentation. However all pigmentation is controlled by single hormone, MSH, secreted by intermedial lobe of pituitary.

pituitary gland... the ovum and secretion of progesterone) and testes (releasing androgens (male hormone) into the blood stream). B. Intermediate Lobe: Hormone: 1) MSH: Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone- stimulates the melanocytes C. Posterior Lobe: Nuerohypophysis- Storage Lobe for the hormones produced by the hypothalamus ...

homologous recomination... but as i said, it is highly improbable. Since you gotta think that the color only codes for an enzyme that encreases or decreases the secretion of MSH, resulting in more or less melanine...
