| General Note | Tyrc, albino. This very old mutant was already known in Greek and Roman times. Hair and eyes are completely devoid of pigment (J:5436, J:5001, J:30725). The albino mutation affects the amount of tyrosinase, and thus of melanin, in pigment cells, but does not interfere with the production of pigment cells themselves (J:12173, J:13092). Melanocytes with melanosomes showing normal fine structure occur in the retina and hair follicles. Pigment granules are smaller and fewer than normal and completely lack melanin (J:5346, J:5001, J:30725). Tyrosinase is almost absent (J:12173).Although Tyr is the structural gene for tyrosinase, some albino mutations may affect tyrosinase enzyme regulation rather than structure (J:6611), suggesting that these mutations affect tyrosinase inhibition (J:5346), presumably via control regions of the gene. All the mutant alleles are recessive to wild type in phenotype, but heterozygotes with wild type produce intermediate amounts of tyrosinase (J:12173).Albino-locus mutants with lightly pigmented eyes have a reduced number of fibers of the optic nerve going to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus of the brain. This is probably a secondary effect of reduced tyrosinase activity or amount of pigment in the pigmentepithelium, since genes at other loci that reduce eye pigmentation also cause the same anomaly (J:5436, J:6064).Abnormal retinal pathways disrupted at the optic chiasm that occur in albinism can be corrected with a Tyr normal transgene (J:22320).Lipofuscin is a terminal oxidation product pigment that accumulates with age. In a cross of C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ, which differ in cardiac deposition of the pigment, this trait segregated with albinism, and is controlled by the Tyr locus (J:15460).Tyrc homozygotes do not perform as well as normal in a number of behavioral tests. It is likely that this effect is mediated, at least in part, by defective vision resulting from lack of retinal pigment (J:5470, J:5360, J:5378). | ||
| Molecular Note | The specific mutation in the albino allele is a G to C transversion causing an amino acid change from cysteine to serine. This mutation introduces a DdeI enzyme restriction site. [MGI Ref ID J:10889] [MGI Ref ID J:40223] | ||

Supply Details
| Standard Supply | Repository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement. |

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise
The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering and Purchasing Information
