Melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) mutations and coat color in pigs.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1998

Kijas J M, Wales R, Törnsten A, Chardon P, Moller M, Andersson L

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) plays a central role in regulation of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow) synthesis within the mammalian melanocyte and is encoded by the classical Extension (E) coat color locus. Sequence analysis of MC1R from seven porcine breeds revealed a total of four allelic variants corresponding to five different E alleles. The European wild boar possessed a unique MC1R...
