Description: Alpha factor mating pheromone is a peptide of 13 amino acids secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha cells. References: Naider F, et al. The alpha-factor mating pheromone of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a model for studying the interaction of peptide hormones and G protein-coupled receptors. Peptides....

Inhibitor of DNA synthesis for alpha-type mating cells of S. cerevisiae. This synthetic peptide is the mating pheromone alpha factor. Alpha-factor pheromone arrests yeast in G1 of the cell cycle by inducing mating genes which alter the cell surface. Amino Acid Sequence (Linear):...
