behavior/neurological
• during estrus, female mice fail to respond behaviorally with attraction to rMUPs unlike wild-type mice
• however, mice fully detected and avoid FELD4
|
nervous system
• vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) from estrous females fail to response to recombinant major urinary proteins (rMUPs) stimulation unlike wild-type neurons
• however, response to non-rMUP stimuli is robust
