3.A.1.204.18
Brown.  Part of a membrane-spanning permease system necessary for the transport of pigment precursors into pigment cells responsible for eye color. Brown and white (TC# 3.A.1.204.1) dimerize for the transport of guanine (Campbell and Nash 2001).  Knockouts of brown in the noctuid moth, Helicoverpa armigera, show no phenotypic effects on viability or pigmentation (Khan et al. 2017).
