| Function |
Male pheromone which stimulates female sexual attraction to male urinary scent and promotes a strong learned attraction to the airborne urinary odor of an individual male. Promotes male aggressive behavior. Binds most of the male pheromone, 2-sec- butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole, in urine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15934926, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18064011, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20525243}.
