Genotype
MGI:3799322

• Allelic Composition: A^y/a
• Genetic Background: B6.Cg-A^y/J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

A^y/a mouse

behavior/neurological

abnormal food intake ( J:102986 )

• the stress of isolation, restraint, or ip injection inhibits feeding

pigmentation

abnormal hair follicle melanogenesis ( J:1295 )

• tyrosinase levels in hairbulb melanocytes ,as determined by 35S methionine incorporation and immunotitration, are reduced in comparison to a/a controls

• decreased tyrosinase suggests the production of predominantly phaeomelanin (yellow)
