Amino Acid Sequence

Trp-His-Trp-Leu-Gln-Leu-Lys-Pro-Gly-Gln-Pro-Met-Tyr

Application

α1-Mating Factor acetate salt has been used for the synchronization of yeast cells for flow cytometry and to study B-type cyclin (Clb2p)-EmCitrine levels from calcofluor white treated cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The α1-Mating factor is a pheromone produced by yeast that regulates mating. α1-Mating Factor acetate salt can be utilized to arrest the G1-phase of the cell cycle in various yeast strains.

Preparation Note

Alpha1-Mating Factor acetate salt dissolves in water at 1 mg/ml to yield a clear, colorless solution.
