Association of MC1R Variants and host phenotypes with melanoma risk in CDKN2A mutation carriers: a GenoMEL study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<p><b>Background</b> Carrying the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) germline mutations is associated with a high risk for melanoma. Penetrance of CDKN2A mutations is modified by pigmentation characteristics, nevus phenotypes,

Polymorphic loci of coat color in mini-pigs

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016
The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive. It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some ...

Discriminant analysis of colour measurements reveals allele dosage effect of ASIP/MC1R in bay horses

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2018
Considering the variability of bay coat colour, we aimed to investigate the association of different shades of bay with ASIP and MC1R genotype combinations and we studied the discrimination between the bay and black coat colour.

Coat Color of Korean Brindle Cattle and Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) mRNA: Variation of 3'-Untranslated Region and Expression

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
The objective of this study was to determine the breed differences in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of MC1R mRNA, which may be used to distinguish Korean brindle cattle (Chikso) from other breeds. We investigated the relationship between the variation

Activation of melanocortin-1 receptor signaling in melanoma cells impairs T cell infiltration to dampen antitumor immunity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Inhibition of T cell infiltration dampens antitumor immunity and causes resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. By in vivo CRISPR screening in B16F10 melanoma in female mice, here we report that loss of melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) in ...

A simple DNA based method for determination of pure Black Slavonian pigs

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The aim of this work was to determine the MC1R genotype of Black Slavonian pigs and to find an efficient and simple PCR-RFLP method, based on differences in MC1R genotype, to distinguish between purebred Black Slavonian pigs and their crossings with ...

Functional Characterization of MC1R-TUBB3 Intergenic Splice Variants of the Human Melanocortin 1 Receptor.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) expressed in melanocytes is a major determinant of skin pigmentation. It encodes a Gs protein-coupled receptor activated by α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH).

The protective role of MC1R in chromosome stability and centromeric integrity in melanocytes

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2021
Variants in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene, encoding a trimeric G-protein-coupled receptor and activated by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), are frequently associated with red or blonde hair, fair skin, freckling, and skin sensitivity ...

Gene Expression Regulation by Agonist-Independent Constitutive Signaling of Melanocortin-1 Receptor [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
BackgroundMelanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r), a key signaling receptor for melanogenesis, has been reported to mediate migration of B16F10 melanoma cells.

The MC1R gene in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata): Genotypic and phenotypic polymorphisms

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2011
Background The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is an important model organism for studying sexual selection; male guppies have complex and conspicuous pigmentation, and female guppies exhibit preferences for males with specific color spots. Understanding the
