hm1

• Allelic Composition: A^w-J/A^w-J
• Genetic Background: C57BL/6J-A^w-J/J

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

pigmentation

abnormal hair follicle melanogenesis ( J:1295 )

• tyrosinase levels in 7 day regenerating hairbulb melanocytes, as determined by immunotitration, are reduced in comparison to a/a controls, however, levels increase in 10 day regenerating hairbulbs, although not to control levels, suggesting a switch to melanin (black/brown) synthesis

• decreased tyrosinase in 7 day regenerating hairbulbs suggests the production of predominantly phaeomelanin (yellow)

abnormal ventral coat pigmentation ( J:30922 )

• light belly resembles A^w

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased circulating pituitary hormone level ( J:52183 )

• mice exhibit lower levels of melanocyte stimulating hormone in sera, whole pituitary and 5, 7, and 9 day regenerating hair bulbs than a/a and A^y mice
