Sequence analysis of the pyrazine-binding protein from bovine olfactory mucosa reveals marked homology with a family of proteins of unknown function found in the urine of the adult male mouse and rat. In view of the dramatic biological responses to odorants transmitted in male rodent urines, it is proposed that these proteins play important roles in some aspects of odor transmission and reception.

“…12 (5)accumulation of urine and feces over a I -week period as his discriminanda. Ropartz (1968) hypothesized that olfactory stimuli serve as releasers for aggressive behavior in mice, having found that bulbectomized animals exhibited no aggressive responses. This may indicate that olfactory cues serve as adaptive function in the social structure of specions.…”

“…Brain damage which has been reported to attenuate aggressive behavior in male mice includes: removal of the olfactory bulbs (Ropartz, 1968); lesions of the septal region (Slotnick & McMullen, 1972); ventromedial hypothalamic lesions (Olivier & Wiepkema, 1974); and, in the present study, damage to MPAH. Whether or not the superficially similar behavioral effect of some of these disparate lesions reflects a disruption in some common neural system remains an interesting challenge for future research.…”
