A Nonsynonymous Single-nucleotide Polymorphism in SLC24A5 Regulates Feather Pigment Deposition in Chinese Yellow Quail by Xiaohui Zhang, Fanghu Wu, Yanxia Qi, Yuanyuan Shang, Lingyun Fan, Yifei Wang

“…Mutant individuals had significantly lower total melanin content in the feathers and tyrosinase activity in dorsal skin, in spite of no significant difference in SLC24A5 mRNA expression in the same tissues. This study indicates that the g.8884145A/G mutation reduced tyrosinase activity by affecting the function of the SLC24A5 protein, which in turn decreased melanin content of down feathers in Chinese yellow quail.…”
