Melanocortin receptor variants with phenotypic effects in horse, pig, and chicken.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Jun 2003

Andersson Leif

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin system is of considerable interest in domestic animals because their energy metabolism and pigmentation have been under strong selection. This article reviews our work on MC1R variants in horse, pig, and chicken, as well as a study on MC4R polymorphism in the pig. The chestnut coat color in horses is caused by an MC1R missense mutation (S83F). In the pig, we have described seven MC1R alleles...
