Medaka double mutants for color interfere and leucophore free: characterization of the xanthophore-somatolactin relationship using the leucophore free gene.

Development genes and evolution - 1 Mar 2006

Fukamachi Shoji, Wakamatsu Yuko, Mitani Hiroshi

Abstract excerpt

Somatolactin (SL) plays an essential role in body-color regulation in medaka and is encoded by the color interfere (ci) locus. The ci mutant fish possess constitutively increased numbers of leucophores and a concomitant decrease in visible xanthophores. However, the mechanism of action of SL on these cell types, and the role of SL in body-color regulation in other species, is unknown. In this study, we verified...
