The eumelanin and pheomelanin contents in dorsal hairs of female recessive yellow mice are greater than in male.

Journal of dermatological science - 1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The murine recessive yellow (Mc1r(e)) is a loss-of-function mutation in the receptor for alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R), and produces yellow coats by inducing pheomelanin synthesis in hair follicular melanocytes. OBJECTIVE: It is not known whether the Mc1r(e) mutation affects pheomelanin synthesis in other skin sites. In this study, the eumelanin and...
