OX NCBI_TaxID=222416; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [GENOMIC DNA]. RX PubMed=17143587; DOI=10.1007/s00335-006-0056-0; RA Mundy N.I., Kelly J.; RT "Investigation of the role of the agouti signaling protein gene (ASIP) RT in coat color evolution in primates."; RL Mamm. Genome 17:1205-1213(2006). CC -!- FUNCTION: Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding CC of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus CC blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of CC eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing CC synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment) (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity). CC -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' CC structurally defines this protein as a knottin (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 agouti domain.
