Identification
BMDB Protein ID BMDBP01997
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Agouti-signaling protein
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name ASIP
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in hormone-mediated signaling
Specific Function Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment) (By similarity).
