| description | Tyrc-e, extreme dilution. This mutation was found in the wild by Detlefsen (J:34484). Hair is very light gray, and eyes are black. Melanin granules of both retinal and neural-crest derived melanocytes are pigmented but are smaller and fewer than normal (J:12970, J:5001). Tyrosinase activity in the skin is very low (J:30744). Tyrc-e/Tyrc mice are almost white with black eyes. |
