Kijas, J.M.; Wales, R.; Törnsten, A.; Chardon, P.; Moller, M.; Andersson, L., 1998: Melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) mutations and coat color in pigs. The melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) plays a central role in regulation of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow) synthesis within the mammalian melanocyte and is encoded by the classical Extension (E) coat color locus. Sequence analy...

Gan, H-Yun.; Li, J-Bin.; Wang, H-Mei.; Gao, Y-Dong.; Liu, W-Hao.; Li, J-Peng.; Zhong, J-Feng., 2007: Relationship between the melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) gene and the coat color phenotype in cattle. The MC1R gene is related to coat color in cattle and to lactoprotein content in milk. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing were used to analyze the MC1R of China Holstein Black-white Cattle, China...

Deng, S-Hua.; Gao, J.; Ren, J.; Chen, K-Fei.; Ding, N-Shui.; Ai, H-Shui.; Lin, W-Hua.; Wang, W-Jun.; Liu, B-Sheng.; Lai, F-Ju.; Huang, L-Sheng., 2003: Studies of the relationship of melanocortin receptor 1(MC1R) gene with coat color phenotype in pigs. Although coat color in pigs has no direct relation with economic traits, it affects economic benefit significantly, coat color selection are widely used in pig breeding and production. PCR-Ace II-RFLP PCR-BspH I -RFLP and PCR-SSCP were used in com...

Våge, D.I.; Nieminen, M.; Anderson, D.G.; Røed, K.H., 2015: Two missense mutations in melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) are strongly associated with dark ventral coat color in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). The protein-coding region of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) was sequenced to identify potential variation affecting coat color in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). A T→C sequence variation at nucleotide position 218 (c.218T>C) causing an amino ac...

Haitina, T.; Ringholm, A.; Kelly, J.; Mundy, N.I.; Schiöth, H.B., 2007: High diversity in functional properties of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) in divergent primate species is more strongly associated with phylogeny than coat color. We have characterized the biochemical function of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), a critical regulator of melanin synthesis, from 9 phylogenetically diverse primate species with varying coat colors. There is substantial diversity in melanocyt...

Mahmoud, A.H.; Mashaly, A.M.; Al-Anazi, K.M.; Rady, A.M.; Saleh, A.A., 2016: Allelic variation of Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1R) locus in Saudi indigenous sheep exhibiting different color coats. NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">The melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is one of the key genes involved in regulating mammalian eyes, skin and hair color. The MC1R protein is located on the plasma membrane of melanocytes, specialized cells that...

Hanna, L.L.Hulsman.; Sanders, J.O.; Riley, D.G.; Abbey, C.A.; Gill, C.A., 2014: Identification of a major locus interacting with MC1R and modifying black coat color in an F₂ Nellore-Angus population. In cattle, base color is assumed to depend on the enzymatic activity specified by the MC1R locus, i.e. the extension locus, with alleles coding for black (E(D)), red (e), and wild-type (E+). In most mammals, these alleles are presumed to follow th...

Minezawa M.; Moriwaki K.; Kondo K., 1979: Geographical distribution of hbb p allele in the japanese wild mouse mus musculus molossinus. Electrophoretic survey of Hbb [.beta.-chain of Hb] alleles in the Japanese wild mouse, M. musculus molossinus, revealed a high incidence of Hbbp, the overall frequency of which in Japan was 56.6%. The Hbbd allele was also common (42.7%) but Hbb8 w...

Marklund, L.; Moller, M.J.; Sandberg, K.; Andersson, L., 1996: A missense mutation in the gene for melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor (MC1R) is associated with the chestnut coat color in horses. A single-strand conformation polymorphism was found that showed complete association with chestnut coat colour in 144 horses of 12 breeds. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a single missense mutation (83 serine to phenylalanine) in the melanoc...

Tutikawa, K., 1954: Studies on T locus in the wild Japanese mouse, Mus musculus molossinus. Six and 6 of the wild Japanese subspecies Mus musculus molossinus were crossed with Brachy T + mice derived, by outcrossing, from Dunn's T strain of Mus musculus. The 6 gave 27 normal and 31 Brachy offspring, while the 6 produced 28 normal, 2...
