The ASIP gene, sometimes referred to as agouti gene, is responsible for coat color switching between red (phaeomelanin) pigment and black (eumelanin) pigment in some dogs. A fully functional ASIP gene will interact with the MC1R receptor and result in a yellow coat color. In this case, little to no black coat color should be seen in the coat.
