A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.
research Abstract 1026: A non-apoptotic function for Mcl-1 as an activator of canonical Wnt signaling in keratinocytes
Mcl-1 can activate Wnt signaling in skin cells, promoting growth and possibly cancer.
research 137 Loss of myeloid Mcpip1 suppresses hair growth and development of epidermal papilloma of the skin
Removing MCPIP1 from myeloid cells in mice leads to hair loss and prevents skin tumors but causes pigmented spots.
research MCPIP1 controls effects of myeloid cells on skin carcinogenesis and hair growth
MCPIP1 in myeloid cells is important for skin cancer development and healthy hair growth.
research Transgenic mouse models support HCR as an effector gene in the PSORS1 locus
The HCR gene contributes to psoriasis risk.
