Steel and c-kit in the development of avian melanocytes: a study of normally pigmented birds and of the hyperpigmented mutant silky fowl.

Developmental dynamics : an official publication of the American Association of Anatomists - 1 May 1995

Abstract excerpt

We describe here the expression of c-kit and Steel (Sl) genes during the development of melanocytes in normally pigmented strains of chick and quail compared to unpigmented (White Leghorn) and hyperpigmented (Silky Fowl) strains of chickens. By using the quail/chick chimera system, we found that the neural crest cells, which migrate dorso-laterally in the subectodermal mesenchyme to give rise to the melanocytes,...
