CAS 89718-47-8
:Mating Factor .alpha.S2
Description:
Mating Factor α (also known as Mating Factor Alpha or MFα) is a chemical substance primarily associated with yeast, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It plays a crucial role in the mating process of these organisms, acting as a pheromone that facilitates communication between yeast cells of opposite mating types. The compound is a peptide that induces a series of physiological responses in the target cells, leading to mating and the formation of diploid cells. Mating Factor α is characterized by its ability to bind to specific receptors on the surface of yeast cells, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways that promote mating behavior. The substance is typically studied in the context of molecular biology and genetics, particularly in understanding the mechanisms of cell signaling and mating in eukaryotic organisms. Its CAS number, 89718-47-8, is a unique identifier that helps in the cataloging and identification of this specific chemical compound in scientific literature and databases.

Mating Factor a-SK2
CAS:<p>Mating Factor a-SK2 is an amino acid sequence of peptides that are produced by bacteria in the genus Streptomyces. The Mating Factor a-SK2 has been shown to be involved in pheromone production and mating. It has also been found to be a major component of the Streptomyces coelicolor mating factor. Mating Factor a-SK2 is composed of three amino acids, n-terminal -Lys(Acm)-Ser(Acm)-Asn(Acm), which have been synthesized chemically. It has also been found to have enzymatic activity against the enzyme N-acetylmuramic acid 6-O-sulfotransferase (Mur6).</p>Formula:C81H106N18O19SPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:1,667.88 g/mol
