Mup20; Mouse Urinary Protein 20; Major Urinary Protein 24
Concentration:
0.1mg/ml after reconstitution.
EClass:
32160000
Endotoxin:
<0.1EU/µg purified protein (LAL test; Lonza).
Form (Short):
liquid
Formulation:
Lyophilized. Contains PBS.
Handling Advice:
After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -20°C.Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.Centrifuge lyophilized vial before opening and reconstitution.PBS containing at least 0.1% BSA should be used for further dilutions.
Long Description:
Protein. Darcin (mouse) (aa 20-181) is untagged. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: <0.1EU/µg purified protein (LAL test; Lonza). Lyophilized. Contains PBS. Purity: >95% (SDS-PAGE). Darcin (also called Mup20) belongs to the family of major urinary proteins (MUPs), a subfamily of proteins found in abundance in the urine. Like all MUPs, Darcin is a member of the lipocalin family of ligand-binding proteins, and preferentially binds the volatile pheromome (S)-2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (SBT). Darcin is present in the urine of male and acts as a sex pheromone that elicits female sexual attraction to a male's urine scent. Recombinant Darcin shows similar activity compared to natural Darcin.
Molecular Weight:

Product Description:
Darcin (also called Mup20) belongs to the family of major urinary proteins (MUPs), a subfamily of proteins found in abundance in the urine. Like all MUPs, Darcin is a member of the lipocalin family of ligand-binding proteins, and preferentially binds the volatile pheromome (S)-2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (SBT). Darcin is present in the urine of male and acts as a sex pheromone that elicits female sexual attraction to a male's urine scent. Recently it was reported that Darcin elicits a complex and variable behavioural repertoire that consists of attraction, ultrasonic vocalization and urinary scent marking, and also serves as a reinforcer in learning paradigms. Darcin reinforces behaviours that promote mate encounters and mate selection. Recombinant Darcin shows similar activity compared to natural Darcin.
