- Polymorphism in Major Urinary Proteins: Molecular Heterogeneity in a Wild Mouse Population (2002, background): “Brennan et al. (1999) suggested that these proteins provide one component of the strain recognition signal, and Mucignat-Caretta et al. (1995) showed that MUPs interact with receptors in the vomeronasal organ to exert an effect on puberty acceleration in females, even without the ligands.”
- Structure and function of the vomeronasal system: an update. (2003, background): “The authors proposed that VNO receptors recognize an N-terminal consensus sequence, N-Glu-Glu-Ala-X-Ser (where X is a polar residue), a sequence common to both MUP and the hexapeptide (Mucignat-Caretta et al., 1995) .”
- Airborne molecules released from male mouse urine affect female exploratory behavior (2014, background): “MUP are also involved in some VNO-mediated responses, such as the puberty onset acceleration (Mucignat-Caretta et al., 1995), estrus stimulation (Marchlewska-Koj et al., 2000), or ovulation (Morè, 2006).”
- The vomeronasal organ mediates interspecies defensive behaviors through detection of protein pheromone homologs (2010, unknown): “Mups emitted by mice have been demonstrated to act as pheromone carrier proteins, environmental pheromone stabilizers, and as genetically encoded pheromones themselves (Chamero et al., 2007; Hurst et al., 1998; Marchlewska-Koj et al., 2000; Mucignat-Caretta et al., 1995).”
- Effect of polymorphisms on ligand binding by mouse major urinary proteins (2001, methodology): “The nomenclature of the urinary MUPs was according to that used in Robertson et al. (1996). The purity of each of these proteins, and the lack of any postexcretory degradation, was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.”
