[MC1R--the key gene in mammalian melanin synthesis].

Yi chuan = Hereditas - 1 Jul 2004

Yang Yong-Sheng, Li Ning, Deng Xue-Mei, Wu Chang-Xin

Abstract excerpt

The study of the molecular regulation mechanism of melanin synthesis during animal development has become a new focus recently . The synthesis and production of melanin during animal development are regulated by many genes. This paper summarized the molecular function mechanism of melanocortin-1-receptor (MC1R) gene and the relationship between the consequences of polymorphic variation of the gene and melanin...
