Abstract excerpt

Tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), or Japanese raccoon dog, is a canine native to Japan. Tanuki with complete oculocutaneous albinism are relatively frequent in mountainous areas of mainland Japan. Tyrosinase, which is encoded by the TYR gene, is an enzyme essential for the biosynthesis of melanin pigment. We examined the structure and nucleotide sequence of TYR in an albino tanuki and found that the...
