High polymorphism at the human melanocortin 1 receptor locus.
Variation in human skin/hair pigmentation is due to varied amounts of eumelanin (brown/black melanins) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow melanins) produced by the melanocytes. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is a regulator of eu- and phaeomelanin production in the melanocytes, and MC1R mutations causing coat color changes are known in many mammals. We have sequenced the MC1R gene in 121 individua...
متن کاملsequence characterization of promoter region at the melanocortin-1 receptor (mc1r) gene in karakul sheep breed
the melanocortin-1 receptor mc1r is encoded by the extension locus, playing a fundamental role in the determination of coat color in a number of mammalian species. however, so far there has been no report regarding the single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) of the mc1r promoter region and the potential association of its snps with coat color in sheep (ovis aries). throughout the present study, ...
متن کاملA 99mTc-tricine-HYNIC-labeled Peptide Targeting the Melanocortin-1 Receptor for Melanoma Imaging
Melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptor is an attractive melanoma-specific target for the development of α-MSH peptide based imaging and therapeutic agents. In this work a new lactam bridge α-MSH analogue was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mTc via HYNIC chelator and tricine as co-ligand. Also, stability in human serum, receptor bound internalization and tissue biodistribution in tumor bearing nude m...

متن کاملGenetic Polymorphism of the Melatonin Receptor 1A Locus in Iranian Shall and Karakul Sheep
The genotypes of the melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) were determined by PCR-RFLP in the native Iranian Shall and karakul breeds of sheep . Blood samples were collected from 60 karakul and 50 Shall breeds. Genomic DNA was extracted based on the Guanidin Thiocyanate-slica gel method. After PCR reaction, PCR products were digested by the Mnl1 restriction enzyme. The MTNR1A locus had two genotypes ...
