Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which is associated with regulating sleep-wake cycles, not skin pigmentation. However, the question seems to be a bit misleading as none of the options directly relate to skin pigmentation. The protein responsible for skin pigmentation is melanin, which is produced by melanocytes in the skin, not directly by any of the glands listed.
