The alpaca agouti gene: Genomic locus, transcripts and causative mutations of eumelanic and pheomelanic coat color [PDF]
, 2013 The agouti gene encodes the agouti signaling protein (ASIP) which regulates pheomelanin and eumelanin synthesis in mammals. To investigate the role of agouti in coat color variation of alpaca, we characterized the agouti gene and identified three ...

Mechanisms of agouti-induced obesity : effects on adipocyte metabolism and interaction with insulin [PDF]
, 1999 Dominant mutations at the agouti locus such as viable yellow (Avy) cause a syndrome of marked obesity and diabetes in addition to a characteristic yellow coat color.

Agouti modulation of both adipocyte and pancreatic islet function via a Ca²⁺-dependent mechanism [PDF]
, 2000 Dominant mutations at the promoter of the mouse agouti gene results in a yellow coat color as well as obesity, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and gender-dependent hyperglycemia.

Analysis of the function of the agouti gene in obesity and diabetes [PDF]
, 1996 This chapter discusses the agouti gene and dominant mutations in that gene that lead to agouti-induced obesity, and recent work with transgenic mice to elucidate the role of agouti in obesity.
