The melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) receptor has a major function in the regulation of black (eumelanin) versus red (phaeomelanin) pigment synthesis within melanocytes. We report three alleles of the MSH-receptor gene found in cattle. A point mutation in the dominant allele E ~ gives black coat
## Abstract An improved bubble method was developed for applying an ultrathin layer of nuclear track emulsion on the surface of cells labeled with I^125^‐MSH. The autoradiographs of I^125^‐MSH binding indicate a nonrandom distribution of receptors on the surface of mouse melanoma cells. It is sugge
