Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) genotypes have no major effect on fatness in a Large White x Wild Boar intercross.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2002

Park H B, Carlborg O, Marklund S, Andersson L

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R missense mutation (Asp298Asn) and fatness, growth and feed intake in pigs. To assess this association further, we analysed the segregation of this missense mutation in relation to variation in...
