Mating Factor

A protein also known as pheromone mating factor that occurs on the surfaces of organisms such as yeast and fungi.

1.	Lymphoma (Lymphomas) 01/13/2006 - "In this study, we tested whether desensitization requires signaling in three different receptors, beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) in S49 lymphoma cells, alpha-factor pheromone receptor (Ste2p) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae LM102 cells, and dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) in HEK-293 cells. "
2.	Starvation 07/20/1989 - "Cells synchronized by treatment with the alpha-mating factor, or by cycles of feeding and starvation, were released from cell-cycle arrest, and the size distribution of DNA chains that were synthesized after the cells reentered the S-phase was determined as a function of time. " 01/01/2016 - "This protocol describes how combining nitrogen starvation with M-factor mating pheromone treatment presents a highly effective method for synchronizing passage through an ostensibly normal S phase."
3.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 06/01/1991 - "Loss of function of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe gap1 gene results in the same phenotypes as those caused by an activated ras1 mutation, i.e., hypersensitivity to the mating factor and inability to perform efficient mating. " 04/01/1996 - "Loss of function of the sxa2 gene in M cells causes hypersensitivity to the P-factor mating pheromone and a reduction in mating efficiency. "
4.	Polyploidy 07/01/2000 - "FACS analysis shows apparent polyploidy which disappears when the cell cycle is arrested by mating factor or nocodazole, indicating that cell septation is delayed without modification of the doubling time. "
5.	Pituitary Neoplasms (Pituitary Adenoma) 09/01/1992 - "Human type 2 preprorelaxin was coexpressed in human kidney 293 cells with the candidate prohormone convertase-processing enzymes mPC1 or mPC2, both cloned from the mouse pituitary tumor AtT-20 cell line, or with the yeast kex2 alpha-mating factor-converting enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
