Abstract
The amount and distribution of eumelanin and phaeomelanin are mainly controlled by Melanocortin Receptor 1 gene. The location、 mutation and polymorphism testing of Melanocortin Receptor 1 gene and mechanism of Melanocortin Receptor 1 in pigs are discussed in the paper. The further research about the gene is also suggested.
