MC1R Gene Variants and Their Relationship with Coat Color in South American Camelids [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2023 In domestic camelids, fleece color is an essential characteristic because it defines the direction of production. Variants were determined in the MC1R gene that showed a relationship with coat color in alpacas and llamas at the level of the coding region.

Polymorphism of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) Gene and its Role in Determining the Coat Colour of Central European Cattle Breeds [PDF]
Animals, 2020 There are many genes responsible for the appearance of different coat colours, among which the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) plays an important role. The aim of the study was to characterize genetic variation in Central European cattle breeds based

Coat colours in the Massese sheep breed are associated with mutations in the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes [PDF]
Animal, 2011 Massese is an Italian dairy sheep breed characterized by animals with black skin and horns and black or apparent grey hairs. Owing to the presence of these two coat colour types, this breed can be considered an interesting model to evaluate the effects ...

Detection of MC1R Genetic Variants and Their Association with Coat Color in Asian Goats [PDF]
AnimalsMammals display a wide range of coat colors, with the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) playing a pivotal role in the genetic regulation of pigmentation. In this study, we investigated MC1R genetic variants in goat populations from four Asian countries

Molecular characterization of coat color gene in Sahiwal versus Karan Fries bovine
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Background Melanocortin-1-receptor gene (MC1R) plays a significant role in signaling cascade of melanin production. In cattle, the coat colors, such as red and black, are an outcome of eumelanin and pheomelanin pigments, respectively.
