Asip (Agouti-signaling protein) aggression gene regulate auditory processing genes in mice

bioRxiv, 2020
Covid-19 strategy of lockdown has affected the lives of millions. The strict actions to enclose the epidemic have exposed many households to inner tensions. Domestic violence has been reported to increase during the lockdown.

The differential expression of MC1R regulators in dorsal and ventral quail plumages during embryogenesis: Implications for plumage pattern formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Melanin pigmentation patterns are ubiquitous in animals and function in crypsis, physical protection, thermoregulation and signalling. In vertebrates, pigmentation patterns formed over large body regions as well as within appendages (hair/feathers) may ...

Anti-inflammatory effects of hunger are transmitted to the periphery via projection-specific AgRP circuits

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Caloric restriction has anti-inflammatory effects. However, the coordinated physiological actions that lead to reduced inflammation in a state of caloric deficit (hunger) are largely unknown.

Ribosomal S6K1 in POMC and AgRP Neurons Regulates Glucose Homeostasis but Not Feeding Behavior in Mice

Cell Reports, 2015
Hypothalamic ribosomal S6K1 has been suggested as a point of convergence for hormonal and nutrient signals in the regulation of feeding behavior, bodyweight, and glucose metabolism.

Involvement of Microphthalmia in the Inhibition of Melanocyte Lineage Differentiation and of Melanogenesis by Agouti Signal Protein [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
In mouse follicular melanocytes, production of eumelanins (brown-black pigments) and pheomelanins (yellow-brownish pigments) is under the control of two intercellular signaling molecules that exert opposite actions, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alphaMSH) which preferentially increases the synthesis of eumelanins, and agouti signal protein (ASP)

Standardization of Methodology for Polymorphism Detection in ASIP, MC1R and MATP Genes in Relation to Colour in Horses

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017
The basic colour in horses, such as black, brown and chestnut is affected by only two genes MC1R and ASIP. Other colours in horses are affected by modifying genes, such as dilution gene MATP.

Facing the Challenges of Neuropeptide Gene Knockouts: Why Do They Not Inhibit Reproduction in Adult Teleost Fish?

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Genetic manipulation of teleost endocrine systems started with transgenic overexpression of pituitary growth hormone. Such strategies enhance growth and reduce fertility, but the fish still breed.

New insights in the pathogenesis of alcohol-related liver disease: The metabolic, immunologic, and neurologic pathways☆

Liver Research, 2023
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) became an important health issue worldwide. Following chronic alcohol consumption, the development of ALD might be caused by metabolic and immunologic factors, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory

Agouti protein, mahogunin, and attractin in pheomelanogenesis and melanoblast-like alteration of melanocytes: a cAMP-independent pathway

, 2009
Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and its ligands, a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (aMSH) and agouti signaling protein (ASIP), regulate switching between eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis in melanocytes.
