Analysis of mammalian pigmentation at the molecular level.

Pigment cell research - 1 Jan 2000

Hearing V J, Jiménez M

Abstract excerpt

There has been great interest lately in the cloning of pigment-related genes; several laboratories have succeeded in isolating melanocyte-specific genes which have many of the characteristics expected for tyrosinase. In this paper, we review the selection criteria, the physical properties, and the functional characteristics of several of these gene products. Two of the clones map to the brown (b) and albino (c)...
