Exonic variants within the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene are useful in distinguishing Black Silky, White Leghorn and Golden duckwing Araucana chicken.
Title: Detection of exonic variants within the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene in Black Silky, White Leghorn and Golden duckwing Araucana chicken.
There is a significant correlation between MC1R polymorphism and the presence of different alleles at the E locus. All but one of the populations carrying the E*E or E*R alleles had the G274A polymorphism.
Title: Association between polymorphism in the melanocortin 1 receptor gene and E locus plumage color phenotype.
The results indicate that there is abundant polymorphism in the MC1R gene, especially in Hebei chicken, which was associated with its rich plumage colour diversity.
Title: Genetic variation of chicken MC1R gene in different plumage colour populations.
The co-segregation of plumage coloration and sequence polymorphism in TYR and MC1R genes were investigated using an intercross between black and white plumage color types of the Dongxiang blue-shelled chicken.

The following MC1R gene cDNA ORF clone sequences were retrieved from the NCBI Reference Sequence Database (RefSeq). These sequences represent the protein coding region of the MC1R cDNA ORF which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) sequence. ORF sequences can be delivered in our standard vector, pcDNA3.1+/C-(K)DYK or the vector of your choice as an expression/transfection-ready ORF clone. Not the clone you want?
