Figure 4. Differential expression of uMUPs from male and female C57BL/6J mice.

Figure 4

Total urinary protein from male or female C57BL/6J urine was desalted and analysed by ESI–MS. The envelope of multiply charged protein ions was deconvoluted using MAXENT 1 software to yield the true mass composition of the sample. For ease of comparison, the true mass spectrum for female urine is inverted. Spectra from five males and five females are overlaid to illustrate consistency between individuals. Additionally, the uMUPs from adult male and female individuals were analysed by one-dimensional SDS/PAGE (insets). The peak IV uMUP, migrating at an apparent molecular mass of 16 kDa, is indicated by an arrow.
