ASIP Variants in Livestock: It's Not Black and White.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2026

Brown Isabella M, Munyard Kylie A

Abstract excerpt

Fur and feather pigmentation play an important role in the survival and reproduction of many species, as well as in selective breeding and agriculture. The synthesis of pigment molecules, eumelanin and pheomelanin, is partially regulated by the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) encoded by the ASIP gene. Although ASIP has been widely studied, variants and associated phenotypes are often studied within individual...
