a - nonagouti Gene
Also Known as As; ASP; A; ASIP
Species: Mus musculus
Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 50518
Summary
Enables type 3 Melanocortin Receptor binding activity and type 4 Melanocortin Receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of melanin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult feeding behavior; melanin biosynthetic process; and melanosome transport. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in forelimb epithelium; hair bulb; hindlimb epithelium; and skin. Used to study obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ASIP (agouti signaling protein).
