N normal phenotype
pigmentation
• the amount of melanin found in anagen hairbulbs is reduced by more than 20-fold compared to wild-type mice (J:6611)
• affected mice fail to produce a tyrsoinase isoform with a carboxy-terminal PEP7 epitope, which participates in a high molecular weight complex important to melanogenesis (J:13319)
• mice have slight pigmentation of the coat
