Mahogany Protein (Attractin) — frequently asked
What is the mahogany protein?
Mahogany protein is encoded by the mouse mahogany locus, now designated attractin. It is a large transmembrane protein with a multi-domain extracellular region, and an alternatively spliced secreted form has also been described in the published literature.
Why is it studied alongside agouti signalling?
Mutations at the mahogany locus were found to modify agouti-dependent coat colour phenotypes in mice, implicating the protein in melanocortin pathway function. It is generally described as an accessory or modulatory component rather than a melanocortin receptor itself.
What do the numbered peptides represent?
Names such as mahogany protein (1350-1376) indicate residue ranges of the mouse sequence, taken from C-terminal regions selected for antigenicity. They are used as immunogens, affinity purification ligands and blocking peptides in antibody-based experiments.
