The mahogany protein is a receptor involved in suppression of obesity

Article Abstract:

Mutations in the mahogany locus are found to suppress the pleiotropic phenotypes. The mahogany gene and its product has been identified, representing the first positional cloning of a suppressor gene in the mouse. The mahogany locus is found not to suppress the obese phenotype of the melanocortin-4-receptor null allele, but it can suppress diet-induced obesity.
