sce:MF(ALPHA)1

Genes: 12

SGD Description
Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)2, although MF(ALPHA)1 produces most alpha-factor; MF(ALPHA)1 has a paralog, MF(ALPHA)2, that arose from the whole genome duplication

SGD Description
Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)1, which is more highly expressed; MF(ALPHA)2 has a paralog, MF(ALPHA)1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
