Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus

Summary: This gene is involved in hair pigmentation. In several strains (ACI, IS, LEA, LEC, NER, and WKAH) this gene encodes a functional protein while in others (BN, BUF, DON, F344, SD, SHR, TM, WKY, and WTC) it lacks a 19 nt indel and is non-protein coding. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
Annotation information: Note: Genetic polymorphisms result in both protein coding and non-coding alleles of this gene.
Orthologs: human mouse all

What's a GeneRIF?

These results suggest a possible in-situ mutation of the Asip gene, either within the RrC lineage II population on Okinawa or in an unsampled RrC lineage II population with biogeographic links to Okinawa, although incomplete lineage sorting could not be ruled out.

Aggressive offspring is more sensitive to the mother's methyl-containing diet: the percentage of animals that are darker than control rats is higher among aggressive animals than among tame ones

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
