About this item
The a-factor is one of the two mating pheromones in baking yeast. It is the “opposite” sex of mating pheromone alpha-Factor (alpha-factor). The a-Factor is functionally tested for its activity and is stable for multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Recommended for use at concentrations of 0.5 µg/mL (BAR1Δ). However, BAR1 strains have not been tested. To dilute the a-factor to work concentration, use 0.5 mg/mL BSA (bovine serum albumin) in water.
