Extension Gene (MC1R) – Coat Color Genetics and DNA Testing
ยีนส่วนขยาย (MC1R)
The Extension gene (MC1R) is a fundamental coat color gene that determines whether an animal can produce dark pigment (eumelanin) or only red/yellow pigment (pheomelanin).
Key Facts
Main effect:Controls the production of eumelanin versus pheomelanin, defining base coat color.
