TYR - Tyrosinase

part 1

Part 2 - mammals

The enzyme encoded by this gene regulates several steps in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. Mutations in this gene result in oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1).

Red-necked wallaby

albino

Inheritance: probably recessive.

Mouse

intense chinchilla

chinchilla (two different mutations)

exteme dilution

extreme dilution mottled

ruby-eyed dilute

platinum

himalayan

acromelanic

albino mottling

albino (several different mutations)

Inheritance: all recessive to the wild type, intermediate on various degree between each other.

Due to the great number of alleles and the rarity of some of them, I only illustrate the four most common (those with a bold lettering).

first row: sepia (cch/cch), mock chocolate (cch/ce) - this one is a fox (tan instead of solid like the rest here, note the white belly), burmese (cch/ch), stone (cch/c), second row: beige (ce/ce), colorpoint beige (ce/ch), bone (ce/c), third row: siamese point (ch/ch), himalayan (ch/c), fourth row: albino (c/c). image sources

Rat

himalayan

albino

Inheritance: recessive to the wild type and intermediate with each other.

siamese (ch/ch), himalayan (ch/c), albino (c/c). image source

Syrian hamster

dark eared white

extreme dilution (mutation unknown yet)

Inheritance: recessive to the wild type and intermediate with each other.

dark eared white (cd/cd), compound heterozygote (cd/ce) and extreme dilute (ce/ce)

albino

Inheritance: recessive.

Guinea pig

albino (probably the same as the himalayan allele)

Inheritence: recessive.

Rabbit

chinchilla

I DID IT!

A literal monkey business! The lemonade stand racket to top all lemonade stands!

From right to left, our staff members:

A chimpanzee named Tony (our chief executive officer)

A gorilla named Muscles (our head of production)

A mandrill named Dion

An orangutan named Baggy (short for Bhagavan)

A baboon named Snips

I went from reminiscing about a toy I played with when I was really little to making these guys... and I intend to add more to their little world.

BTW, thanks again to @8ghostscarabs for suggesting that I add actual monkeys to the gang! It really adds a nice bit of color to everything!
