Evolution of MC1R in Sulawesi macaques


We observed the MC1R gene have fixed variants and resulted in

different functional characteristics in the six species, suggesting

the purifying selection in Sulawesi macaques. Six species‑specific

variants corresponded with variation in agonist‑induced and basal

activity.
