The MC1R and ASIP Coat Color Loci May Impact Behavior in the Horse.

The Journal of heredity - 1 May 2016

Jacobs Lauren N, Staiger Elizabeth A, Albright Julia D, Brooks Samantha A

Abstract excerpt

Shared signaling pathways utilized by melanocytes and neurons result in pleiotropic traits of coat color and behavior in many mammalian species. For example, in humans polymorphisms at MC1R cause red hair, increased heat sensitivity, and lower pain tolerance. In deer mice, rats, and foxes, ASIP polymorphisms causing black coat color lead to more docile demeanors and reduced activity. Horse (Equus caballus) base...
