Gene structure of the goldfish agouti-signaling protein: a putative role in the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern of fish.

Endocrinology - 1 Mar 2005

Cerdá-Reverter José Miguel, Haitina Tatjana, Schiöth Helgi Birgir, Peter Richard Ector

Abstract excerpt

One of the most successful chromatic adaptations in vertebrates is the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern in which the dorsal skin is darkly colored, whereas the ventrum is light. In fish, the latter pattern is achieved because a melanization inhibition factor inhibits melanoblast differentiation and supports iridophore proliferation in the ventrum. In rodents, the patterned pigmentation results from regional...
