| Description |
The alpha factor pheromone arrests yeast in the G1 phase of their cell cycle. Alpha Factor Mating Pheromone induces the expression of mating genes, changes in nuclear architecture, and polarzes growth toward the mating partner. STE2 encodes the alpha factor pheromone receptor (a GPCR) found on mating-type-A cells in yeast. |
| Solubility |
Soluble in water |
| Purity |
> 95% |
| Storage |
Store this peptide in its dry form at 4°C. For best results, rehydrate the peptide immediately before use. Do not re-freeze any unused portions. |
| Notes |
Simply thaw and use directly. We recommend using it at concentrations ranging from 5 µM (bar1 D) to 100 µM (BAR1). |
