Because of their involvement in the coordination of social behavior, Mup proteins are thought to exhibit variable expression depending upon gender, age and status of the studied individuals. Expression may also be strain- specific: in strains C57BL/6J and 129S7, transcriptional support is lacking for Mup17.
