MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone, is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the production and distribution of melanin, leading to colour changes in its target cells such as skin cells, hair follicles, and certain neurons. FSH, LH, TSH, and ACTH do not cause colour changes in their target cells.
