In the current study, we analysed MUPs in Lewis rats using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (IEF), In gel digestion and nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS), and then generated rMUPs. We further examined the activity of rMUPs by testing whether these proteins elicited behavioural and neuronal responses in female rats. ./cache/cord-350389-6o9t2am7.txt ./txt/cord-350389-6o9t2am7.txt
