| Antibody Type | Primary Antibodies |
| Modification Notes | Mouse major urinary proteins, known as MUPs, are pheromone-binding proteins that are excreted in the urine where they influence mouse physiology and behavior. MUP mRNAs are present in the liver and several secretory tissues including lachrymal, submaxillary and mammary tissues. MUP proteins are the products of a multi-gene family that exhibit diverse tissue specific, developmental and hormonal controls. Several MUP protein isoforms exist and are expressed and secreted by sexually mature male mice. The broad chemical class of pheromones that bind to MUPs are believed to be accommodated within a b-barrel motif. Testosterone treatment influences the MUP phenotype by increasing MUP excretion and altering the relative proportions of each isoform. As an androgen-dependent protein present in adult male urine, MUP may influence olfactory cues through mediating differential pheromone- binding profiles. |
