Abstract excerpt
The present study showed that the presence or absence of a new component of major urinary proteins (Mups), which is found in MOA mice, an inbred strain of Mus musculus molossinus (Japanese wild mice), is controlled by a single codominant gene locus. The linkage analysis shows that the locus is on chromosome 4, where the Mup-1 locus is assigned; its alleles, Mup-1a, and Mup-1b determine two phenotypic forms of...
