Major urinary protein ( <i>Mup</i> ) gene family deletion drives sex-specific alterations on the house mouse gut microbiota

2023-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiota is shaped by host metabolism. In house mice ( Mus musculus ), major urinary protein (MUP) pheromone production represents a considerable energy investment, particularly in sexually mature males. Deletion of the Mup gene family shifts mouse metabolism towards an anabolic state, marked by lipogenesis, lipid accumulation, and body mass increases. Given the metabolic implications of MUPs, they may...
