Major urinary protein 11 Protein, Mouse (His)
Major urinary protein 11 Protein functions as a key player in pheromone binding, stabilizing and facilitating their slow release from urine marks. It may safeguard pheromones from oxidation and potentially acts as a pheromone itself, influencing social behaviors like aggression, mating, pup-suckling, territory establishment, and dominance. The protein exhibits in vitro binding to the pheromone analog 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (SBT). Major urinary protein 11 Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Major urinary protein 11 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Description

It may safeguard pheromones from oxidation and potentially acts as a pheromone itself, influencing social behaviors like aggression, mating, pup-suckling, territory establishment, and dominance.

Background
Major urinary protein 11 Protein, a member of the Major urinary proteins (Mups) family, plays a crucial role in binding pheromones, stabilizing them for slow release into the air through urine marks. This function may protect pheromones from oxidation and, intriguingly, Mups themselves may act as pheromones. In the context of social behaviors, including aggression, mating, pup-suckling, territory establishment, and dominance, Major urinary protein 11 is presumed to contribute to the regulation of these behaviors. Additionally, in vitro studies indicate its ability to bind the pheromone analog 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (SBT).
