Abstract excerpt
Melanoma development in interspecific hybrids of Xiphophorus is induced by the overexpression of the mutationally activated receptor tyrosine kinase Xmrk in pigment cells. Based on the melanocyte specificity of the transcriptional upregulation, a pigment cell-specific promoter region was postulated for xmrk, the activity of which is controlled in healthy purebred fish by the molecularly still unidentified...
