Mouse lipocalins (MUP, OBP, LCN) are co-expressed in tissues involved in chemical communication
Chemical communication is mediated by signal production and signal perception and in house mice (Mus musculus), both processes involve lipocalin proteins (OBP, MUP, LCN) that transport volatiles and protect them in tissues where they are produced. However, potential roles of lacrimal, nasal, and sal...
