Product Description
Technical Specifications
Concentration | 1 mg/ml in methanol |
---|---|
Molecular Weight | 1630.0 Da |
Product Storage | Store at -20°C. a-factor is stable during multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity | > 80% by HPLC |
Structure | a-Factor is a farnesylated dodecapeptide |
Usage | We recommend using the a-factor at concentrations of 0.5 µg/ml (BAR1Δ). However, BAR1 strains have not been tested. To dilute the a-factor to working concentrations, we recommend using 0.5 mg/ml BSA (bovine serum albumin) in water. |
Resources
Alpha-factor mating pheromone was used to arrest and synchronize yeast cells at the G1 phase while expression of CopN protein was induced. Synchronization resulted in a homogenous cell culture which was important for studying the effects CopN had on cell cycle progression.
