Molecular and pharmacological characterisation of the MSH-R alleles in Swiss cattle breeds.

Journal of receptor and signal transduction research - 1 Jan 2000

Graphodatskaya D, Joerg H, Stranzinger G

Abstract excerpt

The coat colour in mammals is determined by the relative amounts of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), produced in melanocytes, which are controlled by melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor (MSH-R). Melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor is activated by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Stimulated MSH-R activates adenylyl cyclase (AC), thereby increasing the amount of cyclic...
