The Tyrosinase-Related Protein 1 (TYRP1) has a key role in the synthesis of eumelanin (black) pigment.
It can cause black pigment to dilute to a brown colour.
Brown can also be referred to as liver, chocolate or red depending on the breed.
The TYRP1 test currently identifies 3 "brown" alleles referred to as bs (stop codon), bd (deletion) and bc (insertion).
Please Note: In some breeds which are "visually" chocolate/brown the current test (variations) may not be detected.
