  • Title: The mahogany mouse mutation: further links between pigmentation, obesity and the immune system.
    Author: Jackson IJ.
    Journal: Trends Genet; 1999 Nov; 15(11):429-31. PubMed ID: 10529800.
    Abstract:
    Completely different lines of experimentation have identified attractin, a protein that seems to have multiple roles in regulating physiological processes. It affects the balance between agonist and antagonist at receptors on melanocytes, modifies behaviour and basal metabolic rate, and mediates an interaction between activated T cells and macrophages. It may well be a target for development of drugs to treat obesity.
