Developmental Stage | NA |
Similarity | NA |
Tissue Specificity | NA |
Post Translational Modification | NA |
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). |
