The Mahogany (mg) mutations suppress the effect of lethal yellow including obesity.
The Mahogany locus does not suppress the obese phenotype of the MC4R null allele or those of monogenic obese models (Lepdb, tub, and Cpefat).
However, mahogany can suppress diet-induced obesity.
Mahogany (mg) gene, Mgca, encodes a 1428aa single transmembrane protein that is expressed in many tissues including pigment cells and hypothalamus.
The extracellular domain of the Mgca protein is the ortholog of human attractin, a circulating molecule produced by activated T-cells implicated in immune cell interaction.
The short cytoplasmic tail contains a site that is conserved between C.
elegans and mammals.
