| SLC24A5 is a gene located in the chromosome 15 in human body. It is comprised of 396 amino acid molecules. Recent medical studies revealed that SLC24A5 gene activities determines the number and activity of melanocytes, which is identical in animals or human, i.e. higher activity of SLC24A5 gene will lead to increased number of melanocyte, which will produce more melanin, causing darker skin tone. Those with lower SLC24A5 gene activities will have lesser melanocytes, hence leading to lighter skin tone. |
