Prepro-alpha-factor
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (February 2017) |
Prepro-alpha-factor is a precursor to alpha-factor secreted by MAT alpha Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is a small peptide mating pheromone.[1] Prepro-alpha-factor is translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum and glycosylated at three sites as part of the chemical reaction leading to the formation of the alpha-factor.
