Structure and function of <i>ASP</i>, the human homolog of the mouse <i>agouti</i> gene

1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

The mouse agouti coat color gene encodes a novel paracrine signaling molecule whose pulsatile expression produces a characteristic pattern of banded pigment in individual hairs. Several spontaneous agouti alleles produce adult-onset obesity and diabetes, and have provided important single-gene animal models for alterations in energy metabolism. Utilizing linkage groups conserved between mice and humans, we have...
