AFR1/YDR085C Summary Help

Standard Name AFR1
Systematic Name YDR085C
Feature Type ORF, Verified
Description Protein required for pheromone-induced projection (shmoo) formation; regulates septin architecture during mating; has an RVXF motif that mediates targeting of Glc7p to mating projections; interacts with Cdc12p; AFR1 has a paralog, YER158C, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Name Description Alpha-Factor Receptor regulator 7
