Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

Associations of MC1R Substitutions With Body Color Variation in a Desert Lizard [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Body color variation is widespread among animals, and the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) acts as a vital switch gene in regulating pigmentation. A small number of amino acid substitutions, or even a single one, in MC1R are known to influence the body ...

MC1R Is a Prognostic Marker and Its Expression Is Correlated with MSI in Colorectal Cancer

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is thought to be a marker of poor prognosis and a potential target for the treatment of melanoma. Studies have found that MC1R promotes several tumor behaviors, including cell proliferation and differentiation, pigment ...

Melanocortin 1 receptor activation protects against alpha-synuclein pathologies in models of Parkinson’s disease

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2022
Background Epidemiological studies suggest a link between the melanoma-related pigmentation gene melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD).

The role of melanocortin 1 receptor on melanogenesis pathway in skin color differentiation of red tilapia

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
The skin color differentiation and variation are the main problems limiting the development of red tilapia commercial culture. The specific function and regulation mechanism of mc1r gene in fish pigmentation are still poorly understood. In this study, we

Activation of MC1R with BMS-470539 attenuates neuroinflammation via cAMP/PKA/Nurr1 pathway after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in rats

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury. Activation of melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in ...

Phenotypic and Genetic Features that Differ Between Hereditary and Sporadic Melanoma: Results of a Preliminary Study from a Single Center from Turkey

Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2023
Introduction: We have observed that most cutaneous melanoma patients under our supervision lack characteristic phenotypical features for melanoma. In contrast; history of cancers other than melanoma and age at onset before 50 were common.

Inherited variation at MC1R and histological characteristics of primary melanoma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Variation in the melanocortin-1receptor (MC1R) gene is associated with pigmentary phenotypes and risk of malignant melanoma. Few studies have reported on MC1R variation with respect to tumor characteristics, especially clinically important prognostic ...
