Interaction of major coat color gene functions in mice as studied by chemical analysis of eumelanin and pheomelanin.

Pigment cell research - 1 Feb 2001

Lamoreux M L, Wakamatsu K, Ito S

Abstract excerpt

Melanocytes produce two chemically distinct types of melanin pigments, eumelanin and pheomelanin. These pigments can be quantitatively analyzed by acidic permanganate oxidation or reductive hydrolysis with hydriodic acid to form pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid or aminohydroxyphenylalanine, respectively. About 30 coat color genes in mice have been cloned, and functions of many of those genes have been elucidated....
